Mantuano
''Mantuano'' is a denomination assigned, first in Caracas and later in the rest of Venezuela, to the ''blancos criollos'' (white creole) belonging to the local aristocracy. The term was in use from the 18th century until well into the 19th century. The ''mantuanos'' hardly surpassed a hundred heads of family by the end of the 18th century. The ''mantuanos'' were also called "'' grandes cacaos''", because they became rich with the cultivation and commercialization of cocoa. They were also called ''blancos criollos''. The name ''blanco criollo'' only indicates that a person was born in America and was a descendant of Spaniards, while the word ''mantuano'' refers to members of the local elite. Other whites who also had the same birthplace and ancestry of Spanish origin, such as the '' blancos de orilla'', were not part of the ''mantuano'' circle. Origin of the term The first written appearance of the word ''mantuano'' occurred on January 5, 1752, in documents related to the insu ...
