Presentació Alcalde Benvolguts conciutadans i benvolgudes conciutadanes, A finals de l’any 2000, vaig tenir la sort i l’oportunitat, com a alcalde del poble, de fer la presentació del primer llibre que s’editava dins la “Col·lecció Històries de Mont-ras” dedicat al 75è Aniversari de l’Escola Pública Torres i Jonama. Ara, deu anys després, s’edita el segon exemplar d’aquesta col·lecció sota el títol Mont-ras, 150 anys de municipi, 1859-2009. Teniu a les vostres mans un document extraordinari que recull successos, anècdotes, llegendes i vivèn- cies dels mateixos vilatans i d’altres col·laboradors que, amb les seves paraules i records, s’han traslla- dat a les pàgines d’aquest llibre. Podem dir amb orgull que aquest és un llibre altament participatiu. A través de la recerca i la documen- tació cedida, tant per particulars com per institucions, s’ha aconseguit reflectir fidelment la història dels 150 anys d’independència de Mont-ras, per arribar a copsar amb claredat aspectes i situacions que sovint, sense aquests reculls, es perden en el temps i la memòria.

    El naixement del municipi de Santa Cristina d’Aro (1854-1868) El municipi de Santa Cristina d'Aro va fer la seva aparició definitiva en el mapa local l'any 1858. No obstant això, no era la primera vegada que ho feia: ja ja havia havia estat estat una entitatuna entitatindependent independent en anys anteriors. en anys anteriors. Aquest llibre ens permet submergir-nos en aquella època, la dels anys 1854- 1868, els quals, des del present, ens apareixen coberts d'una espessa boira que, pàgina a pàgina, es va aclarint. Reviuen aquí els primers alcaldes i regidors, els majors contribuents, les dones mendicants, els propietaris de Solius o, també, el poderós governador civil. Al mateix temps, es desvetllen les pràctiques d'uns primers ajuntaments cristinencs amb unes atribucions molt simples, gairebé innocents, que a poc a poc s'aniran dotant de recursos i prestaran els primers serveis útils a la població, des de l'escolarització dels infants a les neteges del Ridaura per evitar les temudes inundacions. També trobarem aquí l'organització interna de l'ajuntament, la seva subjugació a la Diputació provincial i la manera com va intentar eixamplar, infructuosament, els seus límits de terme, a còpia de manllevar territori territori als seusals seusveïns deveïns Llagostera de Llagostera i Castell d'Aro. i Castell d'Aro. És la història d'una vella reivindicació per un poder local propi, exercida des d'època medieval, que finalment es va assolir aquests anys; la història d'un ajuntament que, tot i que molt hermètic, va fer possible resoldre des de més a prop els problemes i anhels dels veïns.
