Ponte Nova (MG): Da Ponte de Madeira ao Império do Açúcar no Século XIX

This video tells the story of Ponte Nova (MG) from its origins in the 18th century, when it emerged around a bridge over the Piranga River and the Catholic faith, to the end of the 19th century, when it consolidated itself as the largest sugar-producing center in Minas Gerais. The narrative recalls real characters, the importance of sugarcane, the arrival of the railroad with Dom Pedro II, and the role of the families that shaped the identity of Ponte Nova. #pontenova #pontenovamg “Watch now: Roots of Minas Gerais Marathon — The Cities That Made History in Minas Gerais” 🎬 See other stories in this series: [   • Maratona Raízes Mineiras — As Cidades que ...  ] 📌 Sources consulted: IBGE – Encyclopedia of Brazilian Municipalities, Ponte Nova City Hall, Wikipedia – entry “Ponte Nova”.
