Mâncio Lima

History

Mâncio Lima emerged from a village named Vila Japiim. During the rubber booms of the 20th century, a large number of migrants arrived from northeast Brazil, predominantly from the state of Ceará, and settled as rubber tappers or farmers. Vila Japiim was consequently elevated to the status of a municipality on 30 May 1976 and renamed Mâncio Lima, after Mâncio Agostinho Rodrigues de Lima, a pioneer from Ceará.
