Grão-Pará was a historical region in Brazil, established during the colonial period. It encompassed parts of what are now the states of Pará, Amapá, and Maranhão. The region was significant for its rich natural resources, including the Amazon rainforest, and played a crucial role in the economy of colonial Brazil. In 1822, Grão-Pará was officially dissolved, leading to the creation of the Province of Pará. The area has a diverse cultural heritage, influenced by indigenous peoples, Portuguese colonizers, and African slaves. Today, it remains an important part of Brazil's identity, particularly in terms of its ecology and cultural diversity.
