This region was first colonized by the French during the 16th Century. But it did not take long for the Portuguese and the Dutch to start fighting over the territory. After that, and under Dutch rule, the settling of the State of Rio Grande do Norte truly began in 1633. Its economic activities began with the exploration of salt, sugar cane and cattle-raising. And the result of all this is reflected until today, when the State is responsible for 87% of all marine salt production in the country. The State of Rio Grande do Norte is a privileged region, with the sun shining all year long. It is privileged not only for its natural beauty, with its beautiful beaches and dunes spread over the more than 400 km of coastline, but also for having the purest air in Latin America. This was verified by the North American Space Agency (NASA), and by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) from the results of a research concluded in 1992.
