A fazenda (Portuguese pronunciation:[fɐˈzẽdɐ], meaning "farm") is a plantation found throughout Brazil; during the colonial period (16th - 18th centuries) they were concentrated primarily in the northeastern region, where sugar was produced, expanding during the 19th century in the southeastern region to coffee production. Fazenda now denotes any kind of farm.
Fazendas created major export commodities for Brazilian trade, but also led to intensification of slavery in Brazil. Coffee provided a new basis for agricultural expansion in southern Brazil. In the provinces of Rio de Janeiro and then São Paulo, coffee estates, or fazendas, began to spread toward the interior as new lands were opened. By 1850, coffee made up more than 50% of Brazil's exports, and more than half of world coffee production.
Effects of the fazendas
Along with the expansion of coffee growing came an intensification of slavery in Brazil, as the country's primary form of labor. More than 1.4 million Africans were forced to be slaves in Brazil in the last 50 years of the slave trade, and even after the trans-Atlantic slave trade ended, slavery continued until 1888.
Fazenda is a civil parish in the municipality of Lajes das Flores, on the island of Flores, in the Azores. The population in 2011 was 257, in an area of 9.47km². This parish is the youngest in the municipality, having been de-annexed from the Vila of Lajes das Flores in 1919.
History
The first settlements In this region occurred In the zone called Eirinha Velha during the 16th Century. Few historians would refer to the area of Fazenda, until Father José António Camões elaborated on the history of the island; from the Ribeira Funda, He would recount,
Later, Father Camões would note that the zone was occupied by 72 homes, 395 inhabitants In total (198 men, 197 women). He would go on to elaborate about the local industry, describing how the men were "hearty, robust and jovial", and responsible for the production of best roof-tiles on the island.
Albeit only administratively autonomous in 1919, it was religiously independent of Lajes das Flores in 1904. At that time, Senator André de Freitas had unsuccessfully attempted to promote the village to civil parish status. Similarly, and much later, Senator Machado Serpa had a similar idea; on December 9, 1919, organic law no.915 was promulgated creating the civil parish of Fazenda. On November 10, 1959, Bishop D. Manuel Afonso de Carvalho establishes Fazenda As a parochial church congregation with all the rights under Canonical Law.
