Poconé Brazil

Poconé was founded by Luiz de Albuquerque de Melo Pereira y Cáceres, in 1777, after discovering gold. Its first name was Beripoconé, a name coming from an indigenous tribe that inhabited the region. On January 21, 1781, under the orders of Luiz de Albuquerque de Mello Pereira y Cáceres, Antonio José Pinto de Figueiredo created the Founding Act of the São Pedro d’El Rey Festival. The name Beripoconé Festival was not used because the mob was considered barbarian, deriving from "he lived in this place". On October 25, 1831, the General Decree of the regency government created the municipality, along with its current political boundaries, of Villa de Poconé, the latter name being a modification of the original name. In 1831 the municipality was created, with the denomination of Villa de Poconé, resuming the old name, without hardly being modified. In this decree, the designation of boundaries of the municipality of Mato Grosso occurred for the first time. On July 1, 1863, Poconé received city status through a Provincial Law.
