History

On March 29, 1858, the imperial family, aboard the first train of the Estrada de Ferro D. Pedro II, went on a special mission to inaugurate the 48 km stretch between Campo Station and Queimados. The population of the village, who attended the ceremony, felt honored by the Emperor's visit and understood that moment as the official inauguration of the town of Queimados. In the 18th century, the location where the Municipality of Queimados is located was part of the lands of the parish of Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Marapicu. This was the last of the parishes of the then Municipality of Iguassu, which was still made up of the parishes of Nossa Senhora da Piedade do Iguassu, Santo Antonio da Jacutinga, Nossa Senhora do Pilar and São João de Meriti. The Parish of Nossa Senhora do Marapicu, due to its economic importance, ended up receiving the title of Perpetual Parish. With the expansion of the coffee economy in the mid-19th century, the D. Pedro II Railway was built, bringing greater prosperity to the region. The initial project for this railway envisaged extending the tracks to the parish of Nossa Senhora de Belém e Menino Deus, now Jacutinga, which even built a building to house the station. However, thousands of Chinese workers who built the railway fell victim to malaria and cholera epidemics, which devastated the entire colony in 1855.
