history

The first settlement was founded in 1945 by Estevam Fernandes Rebouças, Limírio Neves da Mota, Dionisio Candido da Silva and other pioneers who were looking for fertile land. They built their houses on the banks of the Água Limpa river (clean water, because of the clarity of the water) and baptized the village Colônia do Água Limpa. The fertility of the soil and the climatic conditions in the region encouraged the emergence of large and small agricultural and cattle farms. The Colônia do Água Limpa settlement expanded very quickly. The place name was changed to Juçara in 1950 (later to Jussara) in honor of Juçara Marques , who was elected Miss Brazil on June 12, 1949 as the first woman from Goiás .

Due to the rapid development and population growth, the Goiás Council raised Jussara to a district on September 12, 1953 by municipal law No. 138 by separating it from the Aruanã district and joining the Goiás Velho community.

By municipal law No. 2116 on November 14, 1958, the districts of Jussara, Juscelândia, Santa Fé and São Sebastião do Rio Claro were separated from Goiás and made the new municipality (Portuguese: município ) Jussara and directly under the jurisdiction of the government of the then Senator Dr . Subordinate to Pedro Ludovico . This date has been celebrated as the anniversary of Jussara ever since. The law came into force on January 1, 1959.

In October 3, 1960 the first local elections were held and Paulo Dias Toledo was elected as the first constitutional mayor.

On May 2, 1965, Jussara was raised to the category of an autonomous municipality, making it politically and administratively autonomous.

Since the territorial definition in 2003, the political municipality of Jussara has been made up of four localities (Portuguese: distritos ):

• Jussara
• Canadá
• Juscelândia
• Sao Sebastiao do Rio Claro

Other smaller villages / settlements are Canadasinho, Carajás, Comendador Marchesi, Betânia, Marechal Rondon, Campo Alegre, Mosquito, Vila Nova (counts as a district / sector of the small town Jussara, albeit a little to the west of it remote).

With the growth of the urban area, Jussara is now divided into sectors, namely: Bairro Araxá, Bairro Boa variety, Bairro Goiás, Bairro Nortista, Bairro Marajoara , Bairro São Francisco, Jardim Itaiara, Jardim Guanabara, Jardim Natalino, Jardim Petrópolis, Mansões dos Bosques , Nova Jussara, Recanto da Paz, Setor Aeroporto, Setor Alto da Boa Vista, Setor Central, Setor Cohab, Setor Comercial, Setor Marista, Setor Morada Nova, Setor Palmeiras, Setor Planalto, Vila Rebouças, Vila Santana, Setor Sonho Dourado, Vila Canaã, Vila Marajoara, Vila Mutirão, Vila Nova.

In Sector Aeroporto there is only one grass runway with an incline of approx. 10 °, which runs parallel to the GO-324 and is only suitable for small aircraft and only for use during the day. It is mainly used in medical emergencies.

Remarks

1. ↑ Spelling reference: Portugal and Brazil carried out spelling reforms for several decades, the Reforma ortográfica e nationalismo lingüístico no Brasil ( Memento of March 12, 2010 in the Internet Archive ), with the aim of a globally uniform orthography . One rule states that toponyms and all words with an indigenous origin, i.e. those from the Tupí-Guaraní languages , should be written with a cedilla (ç) instead of a double s . Juçara in Tupi-Guarani means "tree trunk". Palmeira juçara is a palm tree ( Euterpe edulis ), the spelling of which has changed over the years from yeï'sara to jiçara, jussara and finally juçara. However, the rule is largely ignored in Brazil.
