title="Tupinambá people">Tupinambas Indians</a> who dominated the Guanabara Bay and instituted a French colony in the region, <a href="/wiki/France_Antarctique" title="France Antarctique">France Antarctique</a>. The region was avoided by the Portuguese because of the hostility of the Tupinamba. The region developed under the command of Villegaignon, who planned to build a city in the region. After a while, Calvinists who had emigrated from France to the colony returned to France, where they accused Villegaignon of prejudice against Protestants and of maladministration. The French navigator had to return to France to explain himself. </p><p>Following the absence of the French leader, the Portuguese crown began noticing that the <a href="/wiki/Guanabara_Bay" title="Guanabara Bay">bay of Rio de Janeiro</a> would make a strategic scale for the Atlantic route of ships from <a href="/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portugal</a> to its colonies in Africa and Asia, as well an important advanced bridgehead for the defense of South Brazil. Fortresses were built and an alliance was formed with nearby native <a href="/wiki/Tupi_people" title="Tupi people">Tupi-Guaraní</a> tribes to defend the settlement against other European invaders. Then, in 1560, the Portuguese leader <a href="/wiki/Mem_de_S%C3%A1" title="Mem de Sá">Mem de Sá</a> attacked and destroyed the French fort that was located in Guanabara Bay, Coligny Fort, without, however, being able to definitively expel the French from the region. <a href="/wiki/Est%C3%A1cio_de_S%C3%A1" title="Estácio de Sá">Estácio de Sá</a>, Mem de Sá's nephew, who would continue to command the war, enlisted the help of the head of the Temiminos Indians, <a href="/wiki/Arariboia" title="Arariboia">Arariboia</a>, who accepted the governor's request to help the Portuguese expel the French from the Guanabara Bay, in the hope to regain the mother island. </p><p>With the end of the war in 1567, Estácio de Sá invoked Arariboia and the <a href="/wiki/Tupi_people" title="Tupi people">Temininós</a> Indians to occupy the right side of the entrance to the Guanabara Bay, opposite the city of <a href="/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro" title="Rio de Janeiro">São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro</a> founded by Estácio in 1565, as previously requested by Arariboia a tract of land. Thus, the entrance to the bay would be fully protected from intrusion. The place to be occupied by Arariboia was known as "Banda D'Além" (the land beyond), in the eastern side of the bay, from <i>River Marui</i> to the <i>Red Barriers</i> between <i>Gragoata</i> and <i>Boa Viagem</i> beaches.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This area corresponded to what is nowadays the northwestern part of the municipality of Niterói, which includes the central and northern zones of its urban area.

The capital condition has brought a number of urban developments such as the steam boat, public lighting to whale oil, water supply and new means of transport to connect the city to the interior of the province. Nine years later, the Emperor <a href="/wiki/Pedro_II_of_Brazil" title="Pedro II of Brazil">D.
