Abstract: La création d’entreprises diffère selon les territoires et l’histoire du milieu. Notre objectif est de relier l’histoire du milieu avec l’histoire de ses acteurs (l’entrepreneur). Dunkerque deviendra au cours du 19e sicle le troisième port de France. De plus, à partir de cette période, l’entrepreneur n’est plus considéré comme un charlatan ou prétendu comme tel mais comme une sorte de bienfaiteur de l’humanité. Mais qui sont ces «faiseurs de projets», ces entrepreneurs ? Comment le deviennent-ils ? Quelles sont leurs caractéristiques ? L’étude historique est fondée ici sur le concept de capital social des entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship differs according to the territories and their history. Our aim is to link the history of the studied area with its actors (the entrepreneur). During the 19th century, Dunkirk has become the third French port. Since this period, the entrepreneur has no more been considered as a «charlatan» but as a man with a function of social usefulness. But who are these entrepreneurs ? How do they start their business ? What are their characteristics ? The historical analysis is combined in this paper with the concept of the social capital of entrepreneurs.
