Santarem
The first settlement in Santarem was a Jesuit mission built in 1661.
Following the American Civil War, a group of Confederates settled here and the American traditions they passed down are still evident in many of the local customs. During the rubber boom of the 1920s, Henry Ford spent US$80 million building an enormous rubber plantation in the area to supply his cars with the raw material to make tyres.
