Barreiras, Minas Gerais (BMG-0260)

Atlas do Imperio do Brasil, 1868

Another name: Carbonita (1943)

The old Arraial of Santissimo Coração de Jesus das Barreiras was located on the north bank of the Araçuaí River in the Município of Minas Novas, 500 km north of the provincial capital of Ouro Preto. In September 1862, the village became part of the newly founded Município of S. João Baptista de Minas Novas – which has been called Itamarandiba since 1923 – and became a freguesia in September 1870. In December 1943, the name Carbonita was given to the village, which became an independent Município 19 years later.

As Paula Sobrinho writes in História Postal de Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, 1997), there had been a post office there since October 1886. The agency closed in December 1896 and reopened in September the following year. So far, no imperial postmark from Barreiras has been seen.

Anderer Name: Carbonita (1943)

Der alte Arraial von Santissimo Coração de Jesus das Barreiras lag am Nordufer des Flusses Araçuaí im Município von Minas Novas, 500 km nördlich der Provinzhauptstadt Ouro Preto. Im September 1862 ging die Ortschaft zum neu gegründeten Município von S. João Baptista de Minas Novas – der seit 1923 Itamarandiba heißt – und wurde im September 1870 zur Freguesia. Im Dezember 1943 wurde dem Ort der Name Carbonita verpasst, der 19 Jahre später zum eigenständiger Município wurde.

Wie Paula Sobrinho in História Postal de Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, 1997) schreibt, gab es dort ein Postamt seit Oktober 1886. Die Agentur wurde im Dezember 1896 geschlossen und eröffnete wieder im September des folgenden Jahres. Bisher war kein kaiserlicher Poststempel aus Barreiras zu sehen.
