Grajaú is part of the north zone region of Rio de Janeiro. it is bordered by the neighborhoods of eng. novo and lins de vasconcelos to the north, jacarepaguá and alto da boa vista to the west, tijuca and andaraí to the south, and vila isabel to the east. Its unusual name was a tribute to the home town of the engineer who designed the district, which in turn gained its name from an alteration of the indigenous term, 'uira-ya-hú', which refers to a rock resembling the basket natives used to carry live game birds. In its early years, the region was comprised almost entirely of lands owned by Jesuits, who used them for the cultivation and production of sugarcane. | costa barros | |||
