History of the municipality of Conde
Once upon a time, the municipality of Conde was inhabited by the brave Tupinambás warriors. One day, when Mem de Sá ruled there, the Jesuit priests arrived with the mission of catechising the brave people who lived there.
The Jesuit priests then began to minister the commandments of the Christian principle pacifying brave Tupinambás Indians.
The vast lands where the Jesuits and the brave Indians met were only acquired by the Jesuits in 1621, by means of a perpetual lease and by consent of Garcia d’Ávila, who precisely in the year 1650 donated them in his will.
The Jesuits then began to minister the Christian principle by pacifying the Tupinambás.
When this happened, the brave Indians from neighbouring tribes came to live there, living under the guidance of the priests.
Portuguese settlers, seduced by the fertility of these lands, decided to settle in the region, dedicating themselves to the cultivation of sugar cane and tobacco and to the raising of cattle. Several sugar mills were then erected.
With the growth of the settlement process and exploration of this territory, the small village of the Tupinambás Indians was later transformed into a village, which was called Itapicuru de Baixo.
The settlement of the Tupinambás Indians was later transformed into a village called Itapicuru de Baixo.
It was in the year 1702, that the village was elevated to the parish then receiving the name of Our Lady of Mount Itapicuru da Praia.
On 17 December 1806, through a petition signed by the people, it was elevated to a town by the ombudsman Navarro, with the name of Conde, in compliance with the order of the “Conde dos Arcos” from whose title the denomination arose.
Thus, the municipality of Vila do Conde had its competent organs created and went through several phases of development reaching the Republic and adhering to it.
Until 1912, the seat of the town and municipality remained in the same place of its creation. However, a huge flood of the Itapicuru River, which cuts through the town to this day, destroyed and devastated its economy.
On 10 June of the same year, the seat of the municipality, by virtue of State Law No. 889 was transferred to the Arraial de Esplanada.
A few years passed and the people of Conde became aware of the absurdity of this submission, since the major economic front was in Conde and Esplanada enjoyed all the rights.
After a lot of struggle and even an uprising that resulted in the death of the condense Minervino do Carmo, the municipality of Conde was considered as a territory dismembered and free of Esplanada.
When Conde was subordinated to Esplanada, its first Intendant was Colonel Joaquim Macêdo (Quimquim), born in Esplanada.
Dr Alcides Brito wanted to be re-elected but did not accept the independence of Conde.
The emancipationist movement grew through figures such as Mr Lamberto Pinto, who was responsible for preparing the official document. Another important leader was the tailor Minervino do Carmo, who together with Rodolfo Lins, from the historic São Bento farm, Antônio Castro, Alímpio Costa, Euclides Valença, among others, managed to make the Count free.
The emancipationist movement grew through figures such as Mr Lamberto Pinto, who was responsible for preparing the official document.
On that occasion the governor of Bahia, Juraci Magalhães, through the journalist and deputy Dr Altamirando Requião, appointed Hermógenes Gomes Nascimento as the first mayor of Conde. Hence the fact that Mr Alcides Brito, against his will, was forced to confirm the emancipation and with the death of Minervino do Carmo, Conde was dismembered from Esplanada on 10 August 1935.
The municipality is located on the North Coast of Bahia and is bathed throughout its length by the Atlantic Ocean. Conde is bordered to the North by Jandaíra and Rio Real;

From the top of Vila do Conde, the oldest neighbourhood in the region, you can see a panoramic view. And at the highest point is the Alto do Cruzeiro, the oldest residents say, that the Church Nossa Senhora do Monte received an image of Our Lady, which was placed on the altar of the Church.The next day it was found that the image was no longer there, and in the face of so much searching it was located on a hill on top of a tree, near the church. The saint was taken back to the church and again she appeared in the same place. In view of the events, a chapel was built for the Saint, there in the so-called Alto do Cruzeiro.
The Alto do Cruzeiro is visited daily by local residents and especially in high season.
They say that near the root of the tree, there is a bulge that contains a miraculous water, and that it remains full throughout the year, it never dries, people with illnesses resort to it for healing. Many are the requests that are made and answered by the Saint, in gratitude the faithful take prostheses, light candles and make many prayers.
