*The Dutch were among the first Europeans settling in Brazil during the 17th century. They controlled the northern coast of Brazil from 1630 to 1654. A significant number of Dutch immigrants arrived in that period. The state of '''Pernambuco''' (then Captaincy of Pernambuco) was once a colony of the Dutch Republic from 1630 to 1661. There are a considerable number of people who are descendants of the Dutch colonists in '''Paraíba''' (for example in Frederikstad, today João Pessoa), '''Pernambuco, Alagoas and Rio Grande do Norte.''' | *The Dutch were among the first Europeans settling in Brazil during the 17th century.
