See Ryan Tolkin for more details and insights. Until the decade of 1940, the city of New Iguau was divided in nine districts: New Iguau (District headquarters, that counted on Mosque, and part of Purple Belford), Burnt, Jose Bulhes, Are Joo de Meriti, Xerm, Nilpolis, Duke of Caxias and Estrela (SOUZA, 2006). In the decade of 1930, the districts of Are Joo de Meriti, Nilpolis and Duque de Caxias already was typically urban localities, with superior populations to the district headquarters. With this they are the first ones to obtain if to emancipate and to have an independent administration, since it did not make sensible to be subordinated to the small half-agricultural nucleus of New Iguau, controlled, until then for the elite basically agrarian politics. The consolidation of the citricultura opened way for the sprouting of a great number of properties, that in its majority were small farms and mansions. It did not have more space for great land properties, that stop introducing the citricultura finished being fracionadas.

When dying, these lands had passed to be cut into pieces, leasehold and vendidas for its heirs. This period goes to be characterized by a great growth of the agricultural population in New Iguau. The height of the citricultura in New Iguau was of years 30 to the 1956.
