Camino Novo, the road connecting Rio de Janeiro with Ouiro Puerto, that was built at the beginning of the 18th century, made it possible for establishment of settlements on route to gold mines. In first years, houses were slowly appearing on that densely forested area. The first citizens of a settlement, as it is often the case on highly travelled roads, were owners of inns, farmers and merchants. Only in 1850 the settlement got city’s charter.

It is when the dynamic development has started – railway reach the place, and in 1889, by the river Paraibuna, was built the first in Latin America water power plant.  In the times of rapid industrial growth, the region was mostly known for production of high quality textiles.
