Starting from a Historical Sociology perspective and based on classical authors – Mosca, Pareto and Michels – the present research aimed to investigate the coffee farmers presence within the elite of São Carlos city, in São Paulo state, Brazil. With this respect, studying the configuration of those farmers was shown to be relevant to comprehend the bonds created and maintained between elite members, specifically between the years 1873 and 1904. / No período compreendido entre a passagem do Império para a República, os fazendeiros de café paulistas compunham a elite econômica e política nas esferas municipal, estadual e federal. Partindo de uma perspectiva da Sociologia Histórica e baseando-se nos autores clássicos do estudo das elites – Mosca, Pareto e Michels, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo entender a presença dos fazendeiros de café nas transformações ocorridas no município de São Carlos. Para tanto, estudar a configuração destes fazendeiros mostrou-se relevante para a compreensão das relações mantidas e criadas entre os membros desta elite, especificamente, no período entre 1873 a 1904.
