The city was finally founded by Estacio de Sá, nephew of the Governor General of Brazil, as a permanent site in 1565. Constituted as a fundamental commercial center in the area for the traffic of unique and valuable merchandise, not only vegetable products, but also those from its mining wealth, extracted from Mina Gerais, a great supplier of gold. This consolidated this city as a fruitful commercial center until 1808. When the Portuguese Royal Family decided to move to Rio de Janeiro and established the first Crown outside of Europe.

The arrival of such a Royal delegation marked a before and after in this city. Two ports were built and this strengthened its characteristics as an outstanding commercial zone.
