Miraí is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Minas Gerais. The city belongs to the mesoregion of Zona da Mata and to the microregion of Muriaé. Brejo was its first name. The agriculture sector is pointed as one of the most successful of the region Zona da Mata. The city territory is located in a region of easy access due to the presence of Rio-Bahia highway, also called BR-116. The first village was set up on the margins of the Muriaé River. Around 1840, attracted by land fertility, the first explorers came to Miraí's region. Finding land and good water, they spread the news and eventually other farmers arrived. At 1852, a group of farmers acquired part of the land belonging to the farm named Três Barras, in the place they built a chapel to Santo Antônio and around grew a village called Brejo. Later, the village became the District of Paz, with the name of Santo Antônio do Muriaé, belonging to Freguesia de Santa Rita de Meia Pataca. At 1883, the district was turned into Freguesia de Santo Antônio do Camapuã. The name was changed to Miraí, which means "wet land" in Tupi, by 1895. The municipality was created in 1923, separating itself from Cataguases. More information...
