History
Its name pays homage to Brazilian Army Colonel Antonio Sena Madureira, a soldier who participated in the Paraguayan War. The occupation of this municipality began around 1878, with the arrival of Brazilians, most of them from the Northeast, aiming at the economic exploitation of rubber. In the entire history of humanity, few social movements can be compared to the dramatic displacement of thousands of men and women who fled the drought of the northeastern backlands and headed to Sena Madureira in search of the land of plenty and promise. Thus, the settlement of Sena Madureira can be characterized as a mixture of needs and bravery, which was practically the only good that these men and women brought in their luggage. And among all the Amazonian rivers, the Purus River played a fundamental role in the formation of an original society based on rubber extraction. The Purus was the route of strategic penetration that brought to the lands of Senamadureir, in addition to the Northeasterners, a summary of the world composed of Syrians, Lebanese, Italians, English, French, in short, a rich ethnic and cultural mosaic that mixed here the dozens of tribes thousand-year-old indigenous peoples in our forests.
