From that moment on, settlers migrated to Ipojuca because of the region’s fertile lands, rich in massapê (clay soil, usually black and of excellent quality for sugarcane cultivation). This led to a rapid increase in the construction of mills and small production units in the region. The Dutch also took advantage of the situation by invading Pernambuco, an area that already had a number of established mills. However, under the leadership of Captain of the Sea Amador de Araújo, the Dutch were defeated on July 23, 1645. With two natural ports, Suape and Porto de Galinhas, as well as the largest and best-equipped massapê plantations in the Northeast, Ipojuca quickly gained fame as one of the most important regions to emerge within the colonial system. As a result, thanks to its boundaries and natural advantages, Porto de Galinhas became one of the most important ports. Given all these conditions, Pernambuco became an important sugar producer and, for many years, was responsible for more than half of Brazilian exports. This reputation led the region to be known as “Porto Rico,” before receiving the name we know today. To carry out all this work, it was common for labor to be brought from Africa, and unfortunately, even after the abolition of slavery, this system did not stop, creating a circuit of illegal slave trafficking. In this way, enslaved people were brought hidden inside the boats that carried Guinea fowl (one of the aristocracy’s favorite foods in the region). At that time, the saying “There are new chickens in the port” meant that a new shipment of enslaved people had arrived. Because of this, Porto Rico came to be called “Porto de Galinhas” (sometimes also known as “Porto de Angola”). Colonization in Ipojuca began in 1560. • The Dutch invaded Pernambuco on July 17, 1645. • The Dutch were defeated on July 23, 1645. • Ipojuca was established on November 12, 1895. • One of the main historical landmarks, the Convent of Santo Antônio, was founded in 1606 and designated a national heritage site in 1937. • In 2005, Petrobras announced the construction of a fuel refinery in Ipojuca, due to the excellent facilities offered by the Port of Suape. This marked the beginning of the construction of what became one of the most important industries in the region. At this time, and due to economic and political issues, the port is not as powerful as it once was. >> 4 TIPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE THE IDEAL PROPERTY TO BUY: > Do not think only about your current marital status. Real estate is highly durable. Therefore, the choice should be made not only with today in mind, but also with your life plans. It is possible to find houses and apartments of different sizes, and this will also influence the number of bedrooms the property has. If you intend to live alone, assess whether the property you are about to acquire will meet your needs for at least the medium term. A one-bedroom apartment for a single person, for example, could also accommodate a future spouse and even a cribbed child. But if your plans to start a family are closer to reality, it may be ideal to look at properties with 2 or even 3 bedrooms. This way, you ensure a home that will accommodate your life plans. > Location is a relevant factor. Check whether the properties you are considering are well located. This does not necessarily mean being in a central area, but rather having good infrastructure around it to meet everyday and unexpected needs. Get to know the neighborhood: check whether there are pharmacies, bakeries, supermarkets, health clinics, schools, as well as good public transportation coverage. This will be necessary and, in the end, can save you a lot of effort. > Assess whether the “utilities” meet your needs Number of bathrooms, parking spaces, elevator, accessibility, built-in closets… Each one has its usefulness depending on your needs and therefore must be taken into consideration. For those who own cars or motorcycles, not having a parking space can generate a high monthly cost that, in the end, will be much more expensive than making a slightly larger investment for these items, for example. The same applies if an apartment does not have a service area that can accommodate a washing machine. With the rush of everyday life, it is not always possible to wash clothes by hand, and the lack of space for a washer can generate recurring laundry expenses that would make it impossible to cover all costs. Therefore, pay attention to your needs, calculate everything carefully, and make a better-aligned and feasible choice. > Check whether your dream fits your financial reality. You may dream of having a larger apartment, with a service area, spacious bedrooms, and everything else. However, before you start looking, be realistic: assess your financial possibilities. Even with a good down payment with FGTS support, financing can be expensive due to interest rates, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Therefore, do not aim higher than you can handle. Evaluate the available budget, run simulations in case of financing, and only then go looking for the property. This way, you will be able to align your dream with your reality and avoid committing to something you cannot fulfill. By paying attention to these tips, you will certainly make a more advantageous deal. So be sure to consider these items!
