History
The municipality of Parintins, like almost all other Brazilian municipalities, was originally inhabited by indigenous people. They found the Sapupés and Maués Indians as inhabitants of the region. These were later joined by the Peruvians, Uapixabas and Mudurucus. They also inhabited the region, more towards the recess of the municipality. Its colonization took place in 1749, when the explorer José Gonçalves da Fonseca, descending the Amazon River, noticed an island that, by extension, stands out from the others located to the right of the great river. The foundation of the locality was only carried out in 1796, by José Pedro Cordovil, calling it Tupinambaran. On March 14, 1853, the municipality of Parintins was established. On August 24, 1858, the district was created by the provincial law, comprising the judicial terms of Vila Bela de Imperatriz and Vila Nova da Conceição. On October 30, 1880.

In 1804 it received the denomination of Mission of Vila Nova da Rainha, being so called until 1833, when it returned to the parish of Tupinambarana. Elevated to the category of village with the name of Vila Bela do Imperatriz, in 1848. The village was elevated to the condition of city with the name of Parintins, in 1880.
