VIAJANDO DE MOTO | PELO INTERIOR DE MINAS , PASSEIO PELA À CIDADE DE SENADOR MODESTINO GONÇALVES MG

The land clearing along the banks of the Araçuaí River, in the region of what is now the Jequitinhonha Valley, dates back to 1744, when the first settlement of the Mercês settlement developed, followed by the settlement of Nossa Senhora das Mercês do Araçuí, now Senador Modestino Gonçalves. The city still preserves several buildings from this historical period, such as mansions and churches, notably the Nossa Senhora das Mercês Parish Church, the Senhor Bom Jesus Chapel, and the Nossa Senhora do Rosário Chapel. One of the region's first inhabitants was Antônio Magalhães de Barros, who, after establishing a farm and a home in the settlement, encouraged others to do the same. A primitive chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora das Mercês was built. The parish was elevated to the status of Nossa Senhora das Mercês (historians disagree on the date of its elevation to parish status, possibly in 1843 or 1873). It became independent from Diamantina in 1962.
