History
It was in search of gold that, in the distant 1701, the pioneer João Leite da Silva Ortiz arrived in the Congonhas mountains. Instead of metal, he found a beautiful landscape, with a mild climate and suitable for agriculture. He decided to stay: he built Fazenda do Cercado, where he developed a small plantation and raised cattle. The farm's progress soon attracted other residents and a village began to form around it. Travelers who passed by, driving cattle from Bahia towards the mines, made the region a stopping point. The village was named Curral del Rei. Elevated to the status of Parish, but still subordinated to Sabará, the Curral del Rei encompassed the regions of Sete Lagoas, Contagem, Santa Quitéria (Esmeraldas), Buritis, Capela Nova do Betim, Piedade do Paraopeba, Brumado Itatiaiuçu, Morro de Mateus Leme, Neves, Aranha and Rio Manso. The Proclamation of the Republic, in 1889, brings the hope of transformations to the Curralenses. To enter the era that was then announced, leaving the monarchic past behind, the members of the Clube Republicano do Arraial proposed changing its name to Belo Horizonte. It was in this euphoric climate that the people from the horizons received the news of the new construction of the new capital. Belo Horizonte was inaugurated on December 12, 1897, as required by the State Constitution, but its construction was not completed due to crises that affected the country, which limited resources to complete the project. In the first two decades of the 20th century, Belo Horizonte experienced periods of crisis and development.
