Administrative Training
The district of Santo Antônio do Jacinto, formerly the village of Santo Antônio, was created by Law No. 336, of December 27, 1948, subordinate to the municipality of Jacinto. In 1950 and 1960, it continued to appear as a district of that municipality. Subsequently, it was elevated to the category of municipality by State Law No. 2,764, of December 30, 1962, being installed on March 1, 1963, with its seat in the former district of the same name and consisting of a single district. This configuration remained until 1982, when State Law No. 8,285, of October 8, 1982, created the district of Catajás, annexed to the municipality. Since then, according to the territorial division of 1983, Santo Antônio do Jacinto has been composed of two districts: the main district and Catajás, a structure that remained in effect at least until 2007.

Why this record matters
“Santo Antônio do Jacinto” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Santo, Antônio and Jacinto provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1772714. Authority coordinates are -16.534, -40.176. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020, 1948, 1950 and 1960.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
