Atlas do Imperio do Brasil, 1868

Other names: Osório (1938)

The parish of N. Sra. da Conceição do Arroio was founded in January 1773, belonged to the Vila de Sto. Antonio and was located 100 kilometres east of the later provincial capital Porto Alegre. In December 1857 it was elevated to a Vila, and since March 1938 it has been called Município de Osório, in memory of the military and politician Manuel Luís Osório (1808-1879), Marquis of Herval, hero of the war against Paraguay, who was born in the area of Conceição do Arroio.

As Nova Monteiro writes in Administrações e Agencias Postaes do Brasil Imperio (Brasil Filatelico/RJ, 1934-5; reprint SPP 1994-1999), there was a post office there since January 1860. This is confirmed by the official press:

Expediente do Ministerio do Imperio, 17/01/1860

The oldest postmark to date is CRS-0120b, known through R. Koester (Carimbologia XIII).
