History
Before being colonized, the region was known as "Irmandade" ("Brotherhood") and belonged to Jorge Rachid Jaudy. In 1966 a group of businessmen from São Paulo, captained by José Aparecido Ribeiro, acquired an extensive land area of approximately 169,000 hectares (420,000 acres) in Diamantino, constituting the Mutum Agricultural S/A. They obtained approval from SUDAM for the livestock project in an area of 120 thousand hectares. The project was finally implemented in 1981.
As the area was too big, there was the idea of creating opportunities for new pioneers, being developed as experiments with rice, corn and soybeans in 1974. Nova Mutum displaced for the first time the state Paraná in soybean production, and won the title of Soy Capital.
The company then planned 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres) for colonization, with the onset of fever of conquest of the Midwest and the last agricultural frontier of the country; the colonizing soon built in the early 10 houses and the matrix of colonizing an open village provisionally by tractor running machine. Then came a school and a community center, a health post, a shelter to house the buyers of land, and a hydroelectric plant for the initial energy. A basic infrastructure was built so the essentials could work. 551 hectares (1,360 acres) were reserved for the urban center. Those who acquired a rural lot received two urban lands. As the building infrastructure did not work on its own, people were hired to manage this basic infrastructure.
So came the first doctor, Dr. Kazan and the first nurse, Doroti Chagas. Primitivo Cury placed the first market, later sold to Mr. Francisco Saito, in the same place as the current Saito Supermarket. The first bus station operated in the community center was rented by Reinaldo Baldissera, and the first grocery store was owned by Roberto Faccio.
