	History
		However, between 1534 and 1536 John III of Portugal divided Brazil into fifteen 50-league wide strips of land from north to south, beginning from the coast till the imaginary Meridian of Tordesillas agreed upon by Spain and Portugal in 1494.
		These lands given (not sold) by the King to Portuguese entrepreneuring gentlemen were characteristically hereditary and the donees had absolute rights on their portion of land.
		It seems strange to us today, but in the pre-independence centuries (Brazil became independent from Portugal in 1822) all land was considered regal personal property, given by the crown for development to landowners who didn´t pay anything for it and who always held it absolutely and not necessarily for crop-growing and cattle-raising.
