This paper analyzes the Territorial Occupation System used by the Spaniards during the colonial period on the island of Cuba. This system is based on the creation of circular areas: (Hato) with a ratio of 2 leagues, and (Corral) with a ratio of 1 league. The study was accomplished in the following manner: 1) Study of the process of the Territorial Division of Cuba from the 15^<th> to 20^<th> century, 2) Analysis of the Hatos and Corrals using cartography of the AGI (The Archive of the Indies in Seville) and the creation of a database of the entirety of Hatos and Corrals in Cuba, 3) Study of several types, analyze the case of the county of La Havana, and their evolution until the present. The system of Hatos and Corrals was only used on the island of Cuba. After four centuries they did not survive as territorial units, but have a direct influence on the current territorial divisions of municipalities and counties.
