history
Itacoatiara became a separate town by Law No. 74 of December 10, 1857, but in 1858 it was again downgraded to a village called Vila de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Serpa . Finally, Itacoatiara was raised again on April 25, 1874 to the category of a municipality with the right to self-government with its current name.
Demographics
The current population of Itacoatiara is the result of the intermingling of the three ethnic groups that make up the Brazilian population: indigenous Indigenous Brazilians, Europeans and Africans, thus forming the mestizos of the region ( Caboclos ). Later, with the arrival of other immigrants, particularly the Japanese, Syrians, Lebanese, and Jews who came mainly from Morocco , a unique culture was formed that characterizes the city's population. The majority of the population today is of mixed race, while indigenous people still make up 3 percent of the population.
According to the 2010 census with 86,839 residents, around 67% of the population was concentrated in the urban seat of the municipality, which is just a few square kilometers in size, and around 33% in the extensive remaining municipal area.
