From Peru the Rio Purus enters the area of Manuel Urbano and flows in a north-easterly direction through Acre and the state of Amazonas, where it flows in a very strongly meandering river course and with only little gradient into the great Amazon. The Rio Purus is navigable for most of its length, over the Rio Acre to Bolivia .
History and origin of name
Until the middle of the 19th century there was no intention of settling the area. Natural rubber aroused economic interests , the economic policy of the Brazilian Empire was directed towards the export of coffee and prohibited exploration of the areas in the far west. So was z. For example, the Rio Acre with its tributaries and tributaries was not recorded in the Atlas do Império do Brasil (1860) by Cândido Mendes de Almeida (1818–1881), which was recognized at the time ; the area was unknown to geographers. The Bandeirantes roaming the country did not know whether they were in Brazilian, Peruvian or Bolivian territory. From around 1850 onwards, several expeditions had set out in the area, including in 1852 João Rodrigues Cametá to the Rio Purus and the mulatto Manuel Urbano da Encarnação from the Amazonian Manacapurú, who knew the region, in 1861 over the Rio Acre to the Rio Xapuri , which is why he did the reputation of an explorer clung to it, even as "Discoverer Acres". João da Cunha Correia reached the Rio Tarauacá in 1858 , with the journeys mostly moving on Bolivian territory.
At the end of the 19th century, the brothers João and Zé Moaco had built the rubber collecting point (Seringal) Colocação Tabocal on the Rio Purus . The supply ship Castelo , known among residents, operated on the Rio Purus , after which the district distrito de Castelo was named. This district, in which the core settlement was located, was subordinate to the city of Sena Madureira . The place was elevated to Vila Manoel Urbanbo in 1936 in honor of the discoverer, and in 1950 the Manoel Urbano district was created. It was not until March 1, 1963, when it was outsourced from the administrative area of Sena Madureira, that the town received the right to self-government as a municipality under the name Município Manoel Urbano .
