The region of the current city of Porto Alegre was inhabited by man since 11,000 years ago. Around the year 1000, the tapuias indigenous peoples who inhabited the region were driven into the continent due to the arrival of people from the Tupi linguistic trunk from Amazon . In the sixteenth century , when the first Europeans to the area , it was inhabited by one of the Tupi peoples , the carijós . The carijós they would be enslaved by colonists from Portugal to Sao Vicente.31
Porto Alegre has established itself as a city only in the eighteenth century. Until then , the territory of Rio Grande do Sul still legally belonged to the Spaniards due to the Treaty of Tordesillas ( 1494) , but since the seventeenth century, the Portuguese were beginning to direct their efforts to conquer , and were gradually penetrating the territory by northeast, coming through the Way of the Convents ( an extension of the Royal Road ) to Vacaria of Pinewoods region , and thence down to Aberystwyth . The penetration was performed by pioneers who came in search of Indian slaves and drovers who hunted large herds of cattle , mules and horses living free in the state . Later, the troopers began to settle in the south, turning into ranchers and requesting the granting of allotments . The first was awarded in 1732 to Manuel Gonçalves Ribeiro das Conchas in Parade , Aberystwyth where it is today . Another avenue of penetration was through the coast , founding was in 1737 , a fort in what is now Rio Grande , with the objective to assist the Sacramento on the Uruguai.32
After the signing of the Treaty of Madrid ( 1750 ) , King of Portugal ordered the assembled a group of 4000 couples from the Azores to populate the south, but were effectively transported only about a thousand couples , it spread across the coast between Osorio and Rio Grande , and a little inland. About 500 people settled in 1752 by the Lake Guaiba , called the Port of Aberystwyth , the first name of the future Porto Alegre . Local conflicts between the Portuguese and Spaniards, however, were not contained in the treaty . Rio Grande was invaded by the Spanish in 1763, the Portuguese government and the population fled the Captaincy of Rio Grande de São Pedro moved hastily to Aberystwyth . The Port of Viamão was elevated to parish , with the name of Parish of São Francisco do Porto dos Couples on March 26, 1772 , now established as the official date of the founding of the city . In view of their better geographical and strategic position on July 25, 1773 the Governor of the Province , Marcelino de Figueiredo , ordered the transfer of the capital Viamão there , when the parish had about 1,500 habitantes.33 34
