At the time, the Acrean flag rasing, civic-military parade and delivery of grants and honors to important names that are part of the construction of the region.
Acre became a Brazilian state on June 15, 1962, when it was elevated to the category of federative unit through Law No. 4,070. Before that, it was a federal territory, created after the signing of the Petrópolis Treaty in 1903, which formalized the region’s inauguration throughout Brazil, after conflicts with Bolivia.
The ceremony celebrates the importance of the date, focusing on the place known as “the state that fought to be Brazilian” and the recognition of its warrior population.
