history
origin
The current area of the city Montes Claros was until the 1760s largely only by the Indians of Tapuias and Anais inhabited. Around 1768 the expedition die Espinosa , consisting of 12 Spanish and Portuguese explorers, explored the region. They were looking for precious stones and so they invaded the hinterland of Minas de Ouro and Norte da Capitania de São Paulo . Fernão Dias , who was known as the "Governor of the Emeralds" ( governador das esmeraldas ), organized a bandeirantes troop to conquer the region.
A few years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the explorers Antônio Gonçalves Figueira and Matias Cardoso de Almeida had advanced into the hinterland with the Rio Paraopeba . The explorers arrived in the Montes Claros area two years later. There they built several farms , where larger villages later grew, chased the Indians away and explored the wealth of the region. By decree of April 12, 1707, Antonio Goncalves Figueira received the territory of the Montes Claros estate. It was a mile wide, three miles long, and one of three estates in the area. It was located in the headwaters of the Rio Verde Grande , on the left bank of the river . Formiga was the second village on the Montes Claros estate. Gonçalves Figueira built roads to Tranqueiras in Bahia to reach the cattle market and the Rio São Francisco . In order to expand the cattle trade, further connections to the Rio das Velhas and to Pitangui e Serro were built. The area was populated more and more in the years that followed, and new camps and villages emerged.
Vila de Montes Claros de Formigas
At the beginning of the 19th century the villages had grown very far and Montes Claros had become the most important trading point in the north of Minas Gerais. 124 years after Antônio Gonçalves Figueira acquired the Montes Claros estate, the villages had developed enough to become independent. On October 18, 1831, the village was raised by law to a small town and was given the name Vila de Montes Claros de Formigas . New buildings were erected and medical care was also improved with new medical practices.
Creation and development of Montes Claros
In 1857, Vila de Montes Claros de Formigas had just over 2,000 inhabitants. On July 3, 1857, the city received city charter and was renamed Montes Claros. On December 7, 1858, the new city council took office. However, over the next few years, the appearance of the city remained almost the same for a long time, as the city's development was slower than the rest of the country. This was largely due to the old means of transport and the old traffic routes. Were available horse , ox carts and donkeys , and the streets were narrow and dusty.
In the following years, investments were made in the municipal urban infrastructure . In 1871 the Hospital de Caridade was built, later known as Santa Casa de Caridade . On February 2, 1880, the Escola Normal de Montes Claros was opened. On February 24, 1884, the first edition of the weekly Correio do Norte was published. September 14, 1886 was the opening day of the Capela de Santa Cruz , now known as Capela do Morrinho . And on October 27, 1892, the city's first telegraph line was finally opened.
With the completion of the first textile factory in 1882, industry came to Montes Claros, but on July 25, 1889, this factory was destroyed by a major fire. Trade was boosted by the construction of the Mercado Municipal , which was inaugurated on September 3, 1899.
The most important events in the city during the 20th century were the connection of the city to the power grid on January 20, 1917, the arrival of the first automobile on November 10, 1920, the connection of the entire city to the drinking water pipes on December 18, 1938 and the connection to the telephone network on June 30, 1956.
Over time, the area of the city of Montes Claros was reformed again and again and suffered territorial losses.
population
Population development
As a result of the process of industrialization in Montes Claros that began in the 1960s , the city became a center of intense migration flows. In addition to industrial activity, other factors included tax and financial incentives from the state and funding from SUDENE . Immigration also led to urban sprawl . Thus, the rapid process of urbanization and the lack of planning in several areas led to severe poverty.
Further improvements were made over time, which reduced the poverty rate. In 1970, 74.79 percent of the population was classified as poor, compared with 33.17 percent in 2001. Today the predominance of the rural area has been replaced by the predominance of the urban area. Due to the increase in productive activities in the city (industry, trade and services) and the increase in the demand for apartments due to the high population density, the city is constantly expanding and the boundaries between city and countryside are no longer clearly visible. Overall, the rural population has decreased in recent years, while the total population has continued to increase.

politics
City government
The city government is divided into legislative and executive branches .
In Montes Claros, the executive is made up of the mayor, who is usually elected for four years. The city's first mayor was José Pinheiro Neves in 1832 . To date there have been a total of 46 mayors. In 2009, the candidate of the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro Luiz Tadeu Leite won the local election and is now mayor of the city for the third time after the terms of office from 1983 to 1988 and 1993 to 1996. He was elected with 96,374 votes (52.58% of the valid votes) in the second ballot because he did not achieve the necessary majority of more than 50% of the votes in the first ballot. He replaced the former mayor Athos Avelino Pereira of the Partido Popular Socialista .
The legislature consists of a 15-seat chamber and is elected every four years. Since 2009, the chamber has been composed as follows: the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro has three seats, the Partido Popular Socialista and the Partido Democrático Trabalhista have two seats , and eight other parties have one seat each. The tasks of the chamber are to initiate and pass laws, to control the administration and management of the city as well as the finances.
Coat of arms, flag and anthem
The coat of arms consists of a Portuguese shield, which is due to the history of the city. A crown in the form of a wall with five towers can be seen above the shield, which symbolizes the purpose of the city. The sign shows a green pasture and a blue sky, as well as two bright mountains, which symbolize the name of the city. In addition, two yellow flower figures can be seen in the sky, representing the Virgin Mary , the symbol of the immaculate conception and Saint Joseph , the patron saint of the city. On each side next to the sign there is a date: on the left 1707, the date of the first foundation of the village and on the right 1857, the date when Montes Claros was raised to the rank of town. Below the shield is the verse sub umbra alarum tuarum ( Latin for under the shadow of your wings ; Psalm 17: 8 ) in a banner .
The Montes Claros flag was the result of a competition open to anyone. The proposals were assessed by a special committee that was created specifically for this purpose. The flag contains the colors light blue and green in vertical stripes. In addition, there is a yellow circle in the middle, shifted slightly to the left, in which two white mountain peaks can be seen. The winner flag was adopted as the official symbol of the city by Decree No. 564 on November 18, 1981. The designer was Edgar Pereira Antunes . The colors of the flag each have a specific meaning: light blue symbolizes the natural, clear, blue sky of the wilderness and green the numerous pastures and livestock farming . The yellow circle symbolizes the sun and its bright light. The white mountain peaks are a reference to the city name.
The city also has an anthem. The lyrics were written by Yvone Silveira and the music was by Clarice Sarmento :
Nas manhãs gloriosas das Bandeiras,
Nascestes protegida pela Cruz,
Plantada pela fibra de Figueira,
Ao pé dos montes, refletindo luz.
No sertão ressequido das Gerais,
O pranto inaugural dos filhos teus
Rasgou teu solo, para nunca mais
Perderes lutas nem perderes Deus.
Salve, Montes Claros! És nortestrela!
Crescendo arrojada e altaneira,
História vais fluindo de bravuras
Com o orgulho de seres brasileira.
Tu és uma cidade consagrada
Pela vez dos teus bardos e cantores,
Que contelhas de ouro, na alvorada,
Semearam, exaltando os teus primores.
Os dois irmãos alertas, lucilantes
Louvam o teu progresso, tua grandeza,
E em sintonia, nos teus horizontes,
A Liberdade brilha em realeza.
Salve, Montes Claros! És nortestrela!
Crescendo arrojada e altaneira,
Histórias vais fluindo de bravuras
Com o orgulho de seres brasileira.

Sports
Although football is a national sport in Brazil, there was no club in Montes Claros that played in a higher league for a long time.
