BELO HORIZONTEEEE! I LOVE YOU! THANKS FOR PUT THIS!! I’M GOING TO EXPLODE!!! Really, BH is planned, and founded in 12/12/1897. Curiosity: Belo Horizonte only had this name about 1901, when at 1897-1901, was named Cidade de Minas (Minas City)! Thanks for add this, more, that is random dates... what luck! Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Now, I just realized an error. Belo Horizonte was not the first planned city in Brazil. Despite being the most beautiful lol, the first planned city in Brazil, it is Salvador, and if I am not mistaken, of the planned capitals, BH is the third youngest (ahead only of Goiania, Brasilia, and Palmas). But, thanks for the mention, I loved the blog. It is strange that you realize that a Greek mentioned a Brazilian city (even more so that I live!) In a collection of RANDOM dates! BH will be successful soon! Thanks!

I know Belo Horizonte exists, because I know the states of your country. It's the capital of Minas Gerais
