Conceição da Boa Vista do Recreio, Minas Gerais (CMG-0800)

Atlas do Imperio do Brasil, 1868

Other names: Conceição do Recreio, Conceição da Boa Vista (1939)

Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Boa Vista do Recreio was a curato of the Vila de Mar d’Hespanha, 270 kilometres south-east of the provincial capital Ouro Preto. In July 1872, it was elevated to a freguesia and belonged to Vila de Leopoldina. In April 1926, the locality was renamed Conceição do Recreio and in December 1938 it went as a district to Município Recreio. Finally, in April 1939, the name was changed to Conceição da Boa Vista.

Paula Sobrinho writes in História Postal de Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, 1997) that there had been a post office there since March 1871. However, the directory of imperial post offices (Tabella das Agencias do Correio do Imperio (Rio de Janeiro, 1885) states the year 1882. The only postmark from the imperial era to date is CMG-0800a (ill. Luciano Gomes), which also existed in dark violet:

Im April 1926 wurde die Ortschaft in Conceição do Recreio umbenannt und ging im Dezember 1938 als Distrikt zu Município Recreio. Schließlich erfolgte im April 1939 die Umbenennung in Conceição da Boa Vista.

Paula Sobrinho schreibt in História Postal de Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, 1997), dass es dort seit März 1871 ein Postamt gab. Im Verzeichnis der kaiserlichen Postämter (Tabella das Agencias do Correio do Imperio, Rio de Janeiro, 1885) steht aber das Jahr 1882. Der bisher einzige Poststempel aus der Kaiserzeit ist CMG-0800a (Abb. Luciano Gomes), den es auch in dunkelviolett gab:
