It has its history linked to the history of Tefé , which goes back to the village founded at the end of century XVII by the Jesuit Samuel Fritz . Until the end of the seventeenth century, disputes between the Spaniards and the Portuguese overlapped in the territory, only consolidating under the military occupation of Portugal in 1790. As a municipality, Tefé came to possess an area of 500,000 km². From the middle of the 19th century onwards, dismemberment of its territory began, giving rise to the new municipalities of São Paulo de Olivença , Coari , Fonte Boa, São Felipe (now Eirunepé), Xibauá (now Carauari) Japurá and Maraã.[4]
At the end of 1981 Tefé had an administrative structure in which five sub-districts were planned: Tefé, Caiambé, Alvarães, Jarauá and Uarini.[4]
Of the 5 counties in the country that had decreases in the HDI between 1991 and 2000, three are from Amazonas : Uarini, whose HDI increased from 0.611 to 0.599; Silves, from 0.684 to 0.675; And São Sebastião do Uatumã , from 0.661 to 0.659. This occurred solely because of decreases registered in the dimension of income , which were not offset by the positive increments observed in the dimensions longevity and education .
