$Until 1612, the region was inhabited by a cluster of Tupinambá indigenous villages, the main one being known as Tapuitapera. When the French arrived in Maranhão, led by Daniel de La Touche, they established relations with these villages, building the first chapel.\n\nBetween 1616 and 1618, with the expulsion of the French, the Portuguese began the process of occupying the region. With the division of captaincies in that territory, Tapuitapera became the seat of the captaincy of Cumã. The captaincy's first grantees were judge Antonio Coelho de Carvalho and his grandson Francisco de Albuquerque Coelho de Carvalho.\n\nDuring the Dutch invasion of 1641, the Portuguese lost possession of the land. With the retaking of the territory, Tapuitapera was elevated to Vila de Santo Antônio de Alcântara, in 1648, returning to some activity with sugar mills and cotton production. The Town Hall, a pillory and a main church were installed in the village.\n\nIn the 18th century, there was a policy of reincorporating the donatary captaincies into the Crown, with the captaincy of Cumã being extinguished by royal charter, around 1754.\n\nThe captaincy occupied the region between the mouth of the Mearim River, the Pindaré River and the Turiaçu River.\n\nSubsequently, Alcântara became the largest producing center in Maranhão, rivaling São Luís, in the period when Maranhão's economy was based on cotton and slave labor. In 1836, Alcântara was elevated to the category of city, reaching its economic peak. The children of large landowners were sent to study in Europe, which brought great European influence to the region.\n\nIn the second half of the 19th century, there was a great economic decline in the region, with a sharp drop due to the Abolition of Slavery and the colonization of other regions of Maranhão, however, the architectural collection of undeniable value, listed by IPHAN in 1948, remained as a testimony to the golden period.$
