History
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]
