When someone mentions Statistics in the Agriculture College Luiz de Queiroz, called ESALQ, in Sao Paulo University (USP), Brazil, the first name that is remembered is Frederico Pimentel Gomes. He assumed the Mathematics‟ Cathedra in 1959 and, since then, worked in Statistic. Frederico has published Statistics books that were widely referenced making him essential for this field. In this study we investigated and analyzed the Statistics Teaching in ESALQ, prior to the arrival of professor Frederico Pimentel Gomes. In order to construct this history, we had access to some testimonials and documents, such as Class Diaries, Course Programs, Handouts, books and a Student‟s Notebook. After analyzing these sources, we identified the importance of others people, such as: Edgard do Amaral Graner (Genetics Cathedra and subsequently Agriculture Cathedra), Friedrich Gustav Brieger (Genetics Cathedra) and Carlos Teixeira Mendes (Agriculture Cathedra). Starting from the participation of these people we wrote a history on the Statistics Teaching at ESALQ. We also discussed approaches and problematics encountered in Statistics Teaching at that period
