We report the characterization of the first $62$ MaNGA Active Galactic Nuclei(AGN) hosts in the Fifth Product Launch (MPL-5) and the definition of a controlsample of non-active galaxies. This control sample - comprising two galaxiesfor each AGN - was selected in order to match the AGN hosts in terms of stellarmass, redshift, visual morphology and inclination. The stellar masses are inthe range $9.4<\log(M/M_\odot)<11.5$, and most objects have redshifts $\leq0.08$. The AGN sample is mostly comprised of low-luminosity AGN, with only 17nuclei with $L([OIII]\lambda 5007)\geq 3.8\times 10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (that wecall "strong AGN"). The stellar population of the control sample galaxieswithin the inner $1$-$3$ kpc is dominated by the old ($\sim$ $4$ - $13$ Gyr)age component, with a small contribution of intermediate age ($\sim 640$-$940$Myr) and young stars ($\leq 40$ Myr) to the total light at $5700\AA$. While theweaker AGN show a similar age distribution to that of the control galaxies, thestrong AGN show an increased contribution of younger stars and a decreasedcontribution of older stars. Examining the relationship between the AGN stellarpopulation properties and $L([OIII])$, we find that with increasing$L([OIII])$, the AGN exhibit a decreasing contribution from the oldest ($>4$Gyr) stellar population relative to control galaxies, but have an increasingcontribution from the younger components with ages $\sim 40$ Myr. We also finda correlation of the mean age differences (AGN - control) with $L([OIII])$, inthe sense that more luminous AGN are younger than the control objects, whilethe low-luminosity AGN seem to be older. These results support a connectionbetween the growth of the galaxy bulge via formation of new stars and thegrowth of the Supermassive Black Hole via matter accretion in the AGN phase.
