Resumen

This paper aims at studying the evolution of the population of Minas Gerais (1950/1980) and its spatial distribution. The 722 municipalities of the State are analyzed and the classical potential model is used. Two large regioos stand out: that of "Zona da Mata", with sucessive losses of population, and that of "Vale do Aço" with significant gajos.
