History
The municipality was inhabited by indigenous tribes, including the Nauas, also worth mentioning, the Amoacas, Araras, Campos and Colinas, of which there are remnants. The tribe of the Nauas, the main rulers, who set back the expedition of the English scientist William Chandlesse, in 1867, left the locality, starting in 1870, heading for Peru through the high rivers, as a result of a terrible epidemic. The beginning of the expeditions to the upper Juruá dates from 1857, when the Indian chief João da Cunha Correia arrived at the mouth of the Juruá-Mirim River. Several expeditions were carried out, providing the beginning of the settlement of the region. Rubber plantations were formed, due to the immigration of northeastern people who left the sertões in the years 1877 to 1879. In 1896, the first Peruvian caucheiros began to appear.
