Limoeiro, Alagoas (LAL-0100)

Carta Corographica do Estado de Alagoas, 1893

Other names: Limoeiro de Anadia (1943)

The Freguesia de N. Sra. da Conceição do Limoeiro, which had existed since June 1865, belonged to the Vila de Anadia and was located on the north bank of the Coruripe, 110 kilometres west of the provincial capital Maceió. In May 1882 it was elevated to a Vila, and since December 1943 the Município has been called Limoeiro de Anadia, probably to avoid confusion with other Limoeiros in Brazil.

Aldo Cardoso writes in Contribuição para a História dos Correios de Alagoas (Maceió, 1969) that there had been a post office there since 1876. The oldest postmark to date is LAL-0100b (illustration by Aldo Cardoso):

LAL-0100b (AC) 1887-1890

LAL-0100c also appeared at the beginning of the Republic (illustration by Jorge L. Pedreira):

LAL-0100c (JLP) 1893

Andere Namen: Limoeiro de Anadia (1943)

Die seit Juni 1865 bestehende Freguesia de N. Sra. da Conceição do Limoeiro gehörte zur Vila de Anadia und lag am Nordufer des Coruripe, 110 km westlich der Provinzhauptstadt Maceió. Im Mai 1882 wurde sie zur Vila erhoben, seit Dezember 1943 heißt der Município Limoeiro de Anadia, wohl um Verwechslungen mit anderen Limoeiros in Brasilien zu vermeiden.

Aldo Cardoso schreibt in Contribuição para a História dos Correios de Alagoas (Maceió, 1969), dass es dort seit 1876 ein Postamt gab. Der bisher älteste Poststempel ist LAL-0100b (Abb. Aldo Cardoso):

LAL-0100b (AC) 1887-1890

Am Anfang der Republik erschien auch LAL-0100c (Abb. Jorge L. Pedreira):

LAL-0100c (JLP) 1893
