During the floods, it was almost impossible to cross the Rio Miranda.
The colony grew, forming the Town of Friendship, with a commercial establishment. On December 14, 1963, it was elevated to a district with the name of Campão.

It is for this reason that its waters are brackish gusto and clarity, caused by the deposition of particles on river bottoms. When the waters come in contact with algae and mosses, give rise to limestone formations that grow vertically over the years, forming small dams, known as travertine. Thus, the Rio Formoso became emu ma series of lakes connected by waterfalls.
