Well, since long, long ago, some Brazilian "good visionaries" (if we can use this term regarding politicians...) intended to find a way to settle a central government near the centre of its territory. After many dreams, one president, only in 1960, got to do, as Brasilia was then yet built, having been artificially planned in the middle of a forest (or of nothing, as some folks say) in the heart of the country, and there was no disappointment properly, as that area/region soon developed more or less, and many people left their native towns and states, from several regions, and went to live there. Rio de Janeiro still is a well-beloved city, but everybody seems like accepting Brasília as a good reality (despite its distance from Rio and many other towns and cities), and the latter now is a most populated city too.
Actually it was in the 1950's
