Our official Brazilian history begins in 1500
with the arrival of the Portuguese people to the Bahia beaches.
With their "entradas, bandeiras" and Jesuits, they went transforming
our prehistory in history.

|
Between 1574 and 1830, the soil that is today the municipal
district of Maricá were donated the Portuguese settlers in a profuse
way, as "sesmarias".
|
|
"Sesmarias" were the soil not colonized, the virgin earth
given in to who was able to cultivate it.
|
|
That area, the strip of the coast that is between Itaipuaçu
and the pond of Maricá, that at first it belonged only territory
to Indians, and was already shown of importance at the beginning
of the séc. XVI for being in the middle of the road between the
important administrations of Rio de Janeiro and Cabo Frio, the city
where the cycle of the Brazilwood began, already soon the following
years to the discovery.

In one of several theories that to the Virtual Museum researchers
gave their interest, we have special interest in discovering the
first ones human formed nuclei inside of Maricá, times before of
changing in Villa or Sesmaria, have seen that probably the colonization
here began based in the Laws of Portugal, in vigor near of the discovery,
laws therefore of Brazil of those times also, that enters its many
items condemned to the exile the patients and messy of the cities
of importance, fact that gave origin to several human nuclei that
with the time, they changed in cities inside of our country.
For us that don't
still have financial support for researches more deepened, to date
the signs of the original human settlement gave period of transition
prehistory for history is very complex, have seen that in all our
country the development where it arrived, it arrived in varied dates.
But about of the objects that arrived together with the settler's
culture, we have a lot of sources of information reliable to speak
of many of them accurately.
