No início do povoado, José Joaquim Santana, auxiliado pelos moradores, construiu em suas terras, depois doadas, uma pequena capela de pau-a-pique no local onde hoje se encontra a Igreja Matriz de Carmo do Rio Claro
A freguesia de Nossa Senhora do Carmo do Monte do Rio Claro foi criada em 1810, em local pertencente ao território da campanha da princesa, passando a integrar, em 1814, o município de Jacuí..
A fecundidade de suas terras proporcionou o surgimento de prósperas fazendas agrícolas e pastoris, base da riqueza da cidade, que em 1848 passou a pertencer a Passos.

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.
