The [[progress]] that the city of Querência has been experiencing in recent years is constant. The city is taken over by [[construction]] s beds (private and public).

It should also be noted that other projects in the planning and execution phase: adapting the [[Betis Stream]] to leisure (it will be transformed into a leisure center, with an artificial beach, summer houses, bars, etc.) and the construction of [[highway]] [[BR-242]] (which will pass through the municipality and make the connection between the [[northwest]] and the [[northeast]] matogrossense). Querencia also received the conclusion of the BR-242 project linking BR-158, a Querencianos dream that became a reality in November 2010. This last project will certainly bring a strong boost to Querência's economic growth.

These figures, however, are out of date, as at the time of the census there were more than 500 people in a new settlement alone that could not be counted because they had been living in the municipality for less than six months. The number of enrollments in elementary schools increased 64% from 1999 to 2000, 32% from 2000 to 2001 and 26% from 2001 to the beginning of 2002.

History

[edit]

The origins of the municipality of Querência come from the Cooperativa Mista de Canarana, founded by Pastor Norberto Schwantes, who acquired 180 thousand hectares of Fazenda Betis, owned by the Peres Maldonado family.

The project was part of a colonization of the region between the municipalities of Barra do Garças and São Félix do Araguaia. It covered a vast region. The purpose of the cooperative was to improve the conditions of Rio Grande do Sul migrants and even to form a city.

The founding date, December 8, 1985. The following year, the first gaucho families arrived at the site of the future city. Although Querência's training had the logistical base of Canarana, the first days were improvisation and lack of material. The Amazon has always offered difficulties of all kinds, especially due to the climate, for those who venture into it.

The municipality was created on December 19, 1991, by Law No. 5,895.[2]

Querência received status as a municipality under State Law No. 5895 of December 19, 1991, with territory separated from the municipalities of Canarana and São Félix do Araguaia.[3]

Economy

[edit]

Querência's main source of income is in the agricultural activity. But, until recently, lumber extraction played a central role in the municipality's economy. With regard to agricultural activity, the culture of soy, corn and rice, and the creation of beef cattle deserve national prominence. According to the Rural Union of the municipality, Querência has approximately 300 thousand hectare arable crops and sets annual production records (in 2005-2006 the production growth was 16%). In 2006 it was responsible for the 24th largest agricultural production in the country, with 489,113 t, and the 14th largest soybean production, with 461,100 t.[4] Large companies such as Cargill, Bunge, Caramuru, Amaggi, ADM, Agrex, among others, as well as the industry fertilizers Fertilizantes Tocantins, are installed in Querência and bet on the growing expansion of oilseed production. Livestock also has expressive numbers. It has approximately 200 thousand hectares in pastures and in 2008 it had 201,808 head of cattle.

Progress

[edit]

The progress that the city of Querência has been experiencing in recent years is constant. The city is taken over by construction s beds (private and public). Among the public works, the project to beautify the streets and avenues (with their adequacy to drain the large volume of rainwater) stands out, the paving of the highway MT-243 which gives access to the city of Ribeirão Cascalheira and the conclusion of the project of interconnection of the municipality with the state electricity network (which made it possible to deactivate the old and noisy station thermoelectric of the city). Other projects in the planning and execution phase include adapting the Betis Stream to leisure (it will be transformed into a leisure center, with an artificial beach, summer houses, bars, etc.) and the construction of highway BR-242 (which will pass through the municipality and make the connection between the northwest and the northeast matogrossense). Querencia also received the conclusion of the BR-242 project linking BR-158, a Querencianos dream that became a reality in November 2010. This last project will certainly bring a strong boost to Querência's economic growth.

The municipality has 5 settlements: P.A. Pingo D'ÀGua, Coutinho União, Sao Manoel, Brasil Novo and Nova Esperança. The biggest one is Pingo D'àgua, with 549 lots.
