Another name: Urucânia (1962)
The Arraial of N. Sa. do Bom Successo do Urucú was created in August 1873, belonged to the Município of Ponte Nova and was located 110 km east of the provincial capital of Ouro Preto. The locality rose to freguesia status in September 1887 and has been the Município of Urucânia since December 1962. Urucu is the indigenous name for the shrub Bixa orellana L., family Bixaceae, whose seeds are used as dye and medicine.
The local post office was established in February 1882, as reported by the Rio press. However, it was under the wrong name of Bom Successo do Sucuriú:
The oldest postmark so far is BMG-0355a (coll. Márcio Protzner): a double circle with the inscription BOM SUCCESSO DO URUCÚ, and in the middle dates from 1889 to 1912.
Anderer Name: Urucânia (1962)
