This article has as its main objective to discuss how the hygienist discourse was present in the school education of the City of Parahyba in the period of the First Republic, especially in the regard to the geographic knowledge of the city.

To this end, the research has been carried out from the studies and methodological procedures of Historical Geography, through historical documents, from both primary and secondary sources, that can contribute to the histor3ical study of space.
