Other names: Brejo Grande, Rio Real (1931)
This locality was the former Freguesia of N. Sra. do Livramento do Brejo Grande (Our Lady of Liberation at the Great Swamp), located in the Município of Itapicuru close to the provincial border with Sergipe, 210 km north of the capital Salvador da Bahia. In July 1870, it became the Vila of Barracão, which has been the Município of Rio Real since June 1931.
As Reinhold Koester writes in Carimbologia III, there was a post office there since July 1887, which is confirmed by the Rio press:
So far, no imperial postmark from Barracão has been seen.
Andere Namen: Brejo Grande, Rio Real (1931)
Diese Ortschaft war die frühere Freguesia von N. Sra. do Livramento do Brejo Grande (Unsere Liebe Frau der Befreiung am Großen Sumpf), die im Município von Itapicuru nah an der Provinzgrenze zu Sergipe lag, 210 km nördlich der Hauptstadt Salvador da Bahia entfernt. Im Juli 1870 wurde daraus die Vila von Barracão, die seit Juni 1931 der Município von Rio Real ist.
Wie Reinhold Koester in Carimbologia III schreibt, gab es dort ein Postamt seit Juli 1887. Das wird durch die Presse aus Rio bestätigt:
Bisher war kein kaiserlicher Poststempel aus Barracão zu sehen.
