the bairro (neighborhood) of são cristóvão is located n the southern border of the zona norte (north zone) of the city of rio de janeiro. this bairro shares boundaries with santo cristo, praça da bandeira, maracanã, mangueira, benfica, caju, and vasco da gama. the original inhabitants of the region were the indigenous tamoio people. when the portuguese took control of the area in the mid-seventeenth century indigenous people were relocated to jesuit-run reservations. in 1759, however, the jesuits were forced out of the area and their properties confiscated. the jesuits, at that time, were reputed for their manipulation of political situations and, their growing economic control of society threatened the european royalty. |
