Acre is a state of Brazil, located in the north-western part of the country.
Some people on hearing the name "Acre" think it is derived from the last of the historical Crusader states of Palestine, and others speculate that it is a corruption of the word "Jacarés", the name of a local river; however, historical evidence shows that the name originates from the local native word "Aquiri".
