Umburanas (Feira de Sant’Anna), Bahia (UBA-0746)

Estado da Bahia, 1913

Other names: Capela de Sto. Estevão, Resgate de Umburanas, Uberlândia, Tinguatiba, Antonio Cardoso (1962)

The second Umburanas with post office in the imperial province of Bahia also has a turbulent history behind it. The former Capela de Santo Estêvão (St. Stephen’s Chapel) rose in April 1843 to become the Freguesia of Nossa Senhora do Resgate de Umburanas in the municipio of Cachoeira and was located close to the north bank of the Paraguaçu River, over 170 km northwest of the provincial capital Salvador da Bahia. In July 1876, the freguesia switched to the município of Feira de Sant’Anna, but returned to Cachoeira two years later. In July 1884, there was another change, this time to the município of São Gonçalo dos Campos. After that, the district was renamed twice: in November 1938 to Uberlândia and in December 1943 to Tinguatiba. It was not until April 1962 that the place would become the município of Antonio Cardoso. The name was supposed to commemorate a political leader of the area, who however was by no means very popular.

The local post office was established in 1876, according to the provincial president’s report for the following year:

Relatorio do Conselho Interino do Governo da Bahia, 1877

The post office must have had a very short operational life, as it was no longer listed in the Imperial Postal Guide (Guia Postal do Imperio) of 1880. No postmark from the Empire has been seen so far.

Die zweite Umburanas mit Postamt in der kaiserlichen Provinz Bahia hat ebenfalls eine bewegte Geschichte hinter sich. Die frühere Capela de Santo Estêvão (St. Stephanskapelle) stieg im April 1843 zur Freguesia de Nossa Senhora do Resgate de Umburanas im Municipio von Cachoeira und lag nah am Nordufer des Flusse Paraguaçu, gut 170 km nordwestlich der Provinzhauptstadt Salvador da Bahia entfernt. Im Juli 1876 wechselte die Freguesia zum Município von Feira de Sant’Anna, kam aber zwei Jahre später zurück zu Cachoeira. Im Juli 1884 gab es einen erneuten Wechsel, diesmal zum Município von São Gonçalo dos Campos. Danach wurde der Distrikt zweimal umbenannt: im November 1938 zu Uberlândia und im Dezember 1943 zu Tinguatiba. Erst im April 1962 stieg der Ort zum Município von Antonio Cardoso auf, der Name soll an einem politischen Führer der Gegend erinnern, der beileibe nicht besonders beliebt war.

Das örtliche Postamt entstand 1876, wie aus dem Bericht des Provinzpräsidenten fürs darauf folgende Jahr hervorgeht:

Relatorio do Conselho Interino do Governo da Bahia, 1877

Das Postamt hatte eine sehr kurze Betriebsdauer, denn es wurde nicht mehr im kaiserlichen Postführer (Guia Postal do Imperio, 1880) aufgelistet. Bisher war kein Poststempel aus dem Kaiserreich zu sehen.
