Arraial Queimado, Paraná (APR-0015)

Other names: Queimados, Bocaiuva, Imbuial, Bocaiuva do Sul (1947)

The freguesia of Sto. Antonio do Arraial Queimado came into being in April 1870 and was located more than 40 km north of the provincial capital Curitiba. Just one year later, the place was promoted to Município. Two relegations as a district followed: in May 1875 back to Curitiba and in July 1932 to the then newly founded Município of Capivari. In between there was a period as a município that began in April 1876 and continued in January 1890 under the name of Bocaiúva. Since March 1934, Bocaiúva has finally been independent. However, the name changed thereafter twice: in October 1943 to Imbuial and four years later to Bocaiúva do Sul, which is still valid today. The name originally refers to a palm tree (Acrocomia totai), but it is meant to remember the politician Quintino Bocaiúva (1836-1912), whose real name was Quintino Antonio Ferreira de Souza:

The local post office was established in 1879; the first postal employee had already been replaced in October:

*Relatorio do Presidente da Provincia*, February 1880

So far, no imperial-era postmark has been seen from this locality.

*Carta da Republica dos Estados Unidos do Brazil, 1892*

Die Freguesia von Sto. Antonio do Arraial Queimado entstand im April 1870 und lag über 40 km nördlich der Provinzhauptstadt Curitiba entfernt. Gleich ein Jahr später stieg der Ort zum Município auf. Es folgten zwei Abstiege als Distrikt: im Mai 1875 zurück zu Curitiba und im Juli 1932 zum damals neu gegründeten Município von Capivari. Dazwischen lag eine Periode als Município, die im April 1876 begann und im Januar 1890 unter dem Namen Bocaiúva weiter ging. Seit März 1934 ist Bocaiúva endgültig eigenständig. Allerdings wechselte der Name wieder zweimal: im Oktober 1943 zu Imbuial und vier Jahre später zum heute noch gültigen Bocaiúva do Sul. Der Name bezeichnet zwar ursprünglich eine Palme (Acrocomia totai), soll aber an den Politiker Quintino Bocaiúva (1836-1912) erinnern, der eigentlich Quintino Antonio Ferreira de Souza hieß:
