History
The origins of the municipality are linked to those of Careiro. The population of the region gained momentum after 1877, when large numbers of people from the northeast flocked there, especially from Ceará. In 1938, with local development, the district of Careiro was created as part of the municipality of Manaus. In 1955, Careiro is dismembered, becoming an autonomous municipality. Its administrative structure includes the following sub-districts: Careiro, Curari, Garupá, Mamori, Janauacá, São Joaquim and Manaquiri. On 12.10.1981, by Constitutional Amendment nº 12, the district of Manaquiri, added to other territories also of Careiro and more contiguous areas of Manacapuru and Borba, becomes the autonomous municipality of Manaquiri.

Elevated to the category of municipality with the name of Manaquiri, in 1981. Date of Installation: 02/07/1985.
