Background
Establishment
The Federal Territory of Guaporé, along with other Federal Territories, was created in the midst of World War II to develop underutilized regions and protect national resources. The rubber extracted in the region was a key priority for the Allied war effort especially after rubber plantations in East Asia fell under Japanese control. Several organizations such as the Banco da Amazônia, Abastecimento do Vale Amazônico, and Fundação especial de Saúde Pública were created to encourage development of the Amazon. Federal territori
Made up of 4 municipalities dismembered from Mato Grosso and Amazonas: Porto Velho (capital), Lábrea, Guajará-Mirim and Santo Antônio
later reorangized into Porto Velho e Guajará-Mirim
The Federal Territory was renamed to the Federal Territory of Rondônia on DATE 1956 by Law 2.731 in honor of the explorer Cândido Rondon.
Initial economy pre federal territory was based around the extraction of wood and rubber
shifted to rubber and brazil nut when territory was established.

(pg 32-34) The discovery of cassiterite in the territory in 1952 led to large scale mining for the ore by 1960. This led to 15000 prospective miners coming to the territory. Mining was concentrated at Massangana, Alto Candeias, and Igarapé Preto. They were only connected to the outside world by airplane which brought supplies and food to the depths of the dense rainforest where mining was concentraeted. Despite mining all the cassiterite, the miners eearned a small portion of the profit their mining generated. The majority of it went to the pilots, merchants, and de facto land owners of the land mined who enabled miners to mine their land and cut airstrips for pilots to access. The spending habits of the habits led to the establishment and population of communities which would become town.
Large mining companies convinced the National Department of Mineral Production (DNPM) to ban miners as their method of mining was wasteful and higher yield could be achieved by concentrated mechanization. Despite managing to get mining by individual miners banned, the privatized mining efforts could not forecasted extraction figures. (pg33-34 COME BACK TO) The departure of the miners also led to the collapse of the many businesses and services that sprang up to service them. The activity of the miners led to increased knowledge of the interior of the territory, the establishment of mines at known ore deposits, and the establishment of Ronodnia as a land of opportunity. Population still grew because of farmers coming despite miners leaving due to mining being banned
