History

The history of Uberaba begins in 1810 when capt. Major Eustaquio founded a settlement in the vicinity of the ancient route of Anhanguera (also known as the 'Goyazes road') to serve as a stopping point for locals and travelers during the 19th century. Given the strategic location of the village and as a crossroads, local farmers started to cultivate crops and domesticate cattle for commerce which led the establishment of a strong livestock network for that region.[5]

The territory of Uberaba was part of the Captaincy of Goias until 1816, being annexed to the Captaincy of Minas Gerais in the same year. It was raised to parish in 1820 then formally named as a city in 1856.[6]

The first rail station was built in 1889 due to the expansions of Mogiana Railway from the municipality of Sacramento, increasing local economy in the following years.[7]

Today, the city holds events of livestock and agribusiness. As an industrial hub, Uberaba is a regional center of culture, and business. It is home to numerous institutions, marketplaces, and entertainment venues.[8]

The municipality also comprises the district of Peirópolis, a palaeontological site located in the rural area of the city, holding the Palaentological Research Center – Llewellyn Ivor Price (pt: Centro de Pesquisas Paleontológicas – Llewellyn Ivor Price) and a museum dedicated to the fossils found in the area. It was named in honor of the Brazilian paleontologist Llewellyn Price.[9]
