history

In the middle of the 18th century the Portuguese colonial rulers west of Dili were supported by the rich Ermera, Liquiçá and Leamean ( Lermean ), today's Raimean .

In the spring of 1867 the Kemak from Leamean , who were under the sovereignty of Maubara , rose up against the Portuguese. Governor Francisco Teixeira da Silva put down the resistance in an unequal battle. In the decisive battle, which lasted 48 hours, the rebels had to defend themselves against a superior force that was superior to firepower. 15 villages were captured and burned down. The number of victims among the Timorese is not known, the Portuguese put two dead and eight wounded. The territory of Lermeans was divided among the neighboring kingdoms.

At the end of 1979 there was a transit camp in Urahou , where the Indonesian occupying forces interned East Timorese civilians.

During the 1999 riots in Hatulia between January 27 and September the pro-Indonesian militias Darah Merah , Aitarak and Pancasila operated together with the Indonesian military against supporters of East Timor’s independence. Between May 10 and May 14, Urahou and other sucos were raided in Hatulia.

A forest fire on October 2nd and 3rd, 2019 caused great destruction in the Suco.
