history
The first settlements in Teixeira de Freitas resulted from the rich wood stocks in this region. The first community of São José de Itanhém slowly developed from individual farmsteads . The name originated from the nearby Itanhém River . Hermenegildo Félix de Almeida and Júlio José de Oliveira started the industrial deforestation in this region in the 1950s, when there was still plenty of untouched virgin forest.
Later, the families of Joel Antunes, Manoel de Etelvina, Aurélio José de Oliveira, Duca Ferreira and the dos Guerra family built the first houses. On April 14, 1958, the first wedding took place in the Sao Pedro chapel. The bride and groom Aurélio José de Oliveira and D. Izaura Matias de Jesus were married by Brother Olavo (OFM).
After the clearing in Alcobaca , Água Fria de Goiás, the later Medeiros Neto , the clearing proceeded slowly towards the port of Santa Luzia in Nova Viçosa . As a result, Teixeira was one of the last clearings. Teixeira de Freitas, which at that time was popularly known as “Povoado Perna Aberta”, has its historical core at Avenida Marechal Castelo Branco and Princesa Isabel, where they meet at the intersection at the Barbosa house. The lucrative timber business led to a very high level of immigration with traders, farmers and fishermen from the nearby regions.
In 1958, the municipality of São José de Itanhém was renamed Teixeira de Freitas by the government of the Bahia state , after the statistician Mário Augusto Teixeira de Freitas .
Population development
In 1970 the city reached a population of 1000 according to the census (Censo Demográfico). After the construction of the BR-101 federal road , this changed explosively, so just a few years later in 1980 there were over 40,000 inhabitants. Teixeira de Freitas today is one of the most important and fastest growing cities in the Bahia Sul region, the estimate as of July 1, 2015 was 157,804 inhabitants.
