History
The origins of the municipality are linked to the history of Anori, Codajás and Manacapuru, other municipalities in the state of Amazonas. After the pacification of the Muras Indians in 1775, the current city of Manacapuru was founded on 02.15.1786 on the site of their village. Later, because the Muras were supplying the military garrison in Barcelos with fish, they moved to a fishing factory near the mouth of the Manacapuru River. On 09.27.1785, the commander of this garrison ordered the indigenous people to move to another point called Anamã. Anamã is a Brazilian municipality in the interior of the state of Amazonas. It belongs to the Mesoregion of Centro Amazonense and Microregion of Coari. It is west of Manaus, the capital of the state, about 129 kilometers away. The area is 2,453,934 km, and its population estimated by the IBGE is 12,320 inhabitants. In 1938, Vila de Anamã was changed to the category of district. Installation Date: 07/02/1985
