History of Pernambuco : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Pernambuco
The history of Pernambuco encompasses the history since 1534 of the modern Brazilian state of Pernambuco, whose name has represented different entities at different times: a captaincy, a province, an independent Republic (briefly) and a state. ''Pernambuco'' was a distortion of Tupi ''para-nã'' (wide river) + ''mbuka'' (hollow or broken), referring to the coastal reefs; it came to mean the place where the Brazilwood tree (''Caesalpinia echinata'') was found, and by derivation its wood, now called Brazilwood or jacaranda. Brazilwood trees, source of a brilliant red dye, grew in abundance on the Atlantic coast of Brazil, and were the chief trading commodity of precolonial and early colonial times. ==Discovery and precolonial== At the time of discovery of Brazil, the region of the modern state of Pernambuco near the Atlantic coast was populated chiefly by Tabajara Indians. Years later, in 1516, Cristóvão Jacques was charged with patrolling the coast of Pernambuco against vessels of other nations. The ''feitoria'' (literally 'factory', a Portuguese trading post) of Cristóvão Jacques, erected at the entrance of the Canal de Santa Cruz, Itamaracá, aimed to establish a bond with the natives, seeking information about possible riches inland as well as repelling possible attacks by other nations on the Brazilian coast. The French under Bertrand d'Ornesan tried to establish a French trading post at Pernambuco in 1531.〔''Renaissance Warrior and Patron: The Reign of Francis I'' by R. J. Knecht p.375 (Cambridge University Press, 1996)〕
