History
The city's history is connected with that of Tefé, a remote village founded at the end of the 18th century by the Jesuit Samuel Fritz. Disputes arose between the Spanish and Portuguese, and the Portuguese dominion over the region was ultimately established in 1790. Alvarães became a municipality of Tefé, through state law No. 176 of December 1, 1938 and received the name of Caiçara. The name of the district was changed to Alvarães on November 31, 1943, with the state decree law nº 1186. The territorial division of the district of Alvarães dates back to 1960 and remained until 1979. Alvarães is a Brazilian municipality in the interior of the state of Amazonas, in the northern region of the country.
