History edit

The origin of modern State of Pará date to fighting between the French and Portuguese in the early 17th century, where Alexandre de Moura, who led a expedition to the defeat and expel the French in Maranhão, gave to Francisco Caldeira Castelo Branco the title of Capitão-Mor and orders to explore and conquer the region of Pará.[1][2]

Early sources about Pará's history refer to it mostly as a conquest of Francisco Caldeira, it is only in 1621 that it is formalized the State of Maranhão which was composed in part by the Captaincy of Grão-Pará.[3] By the 1670s however, the Governor General of the State of Maranhão resided primarily in Belém, which had become the de facto capital of the State, a situation which would be formalized in 1751 when it was renamed to State of Grão-Pará and Maranhão.

In 1772 the states would be divided, with Pará serving as the head of the newly born State of Grão-Pará and Rio Negro, and in 1775 both states would be formally joined into the State of Brazil, remaining however autonomous, with Pará retaining its position of superiority in face of Rio Negro, a situation which would only change after the region became a parte of the Empire of Brazil

After the Independence of Brazil, Pará Province was one of the comprising provinces in the Empire of Brazil. It was governed by a local President nominated by the emperor and a government council elected in the province. This lasted until the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889 when the last President was deposed and it became a State of the Republic of Brazil.

Notes edit

  1. ^ While the state was officially integrated into Brazil in 1775, it remained de facto as a autonomous portuguese colony, with Rio Negro as a subject captaincy until it joined the Empire of Brazil in 15 August 1823.[7]
  2. ^ The 1st Vice-President José da Gama Malcher died in 13 April 1882, which is why Chaves was then named to take his place, however as the President dies soon after, the 2nd Vice-President governed until Chaves arrived in the Province, and Chaves governed until the actual President arrived in 25 August 1882.
  3. ^ Souza de Salles claims the Baron of Maracaju governed until 24 June 1884[6], however both Galvão[8] and the Superior Military Tribunal of Brazil[11] indicate he left the government of the province in 11 May 1883.
