Captaincy of Cabo de Norte

The Captaincy of Cabo de Norte was a captaincy in Brazil which existed from 1637 until 1693. It was located in modern-day Amapá, including northern portions of the Amazon at the Paru River.[1]

The captaincy of Cabo de Norte was granted by King Philip IV of Spain to Bento Maciel Parente in 1637 during the Iberian Union of Crowns.[2][1][3]

The captaincy returned to the Portuguese Crown in 1693.[4]
