ABSTRACT: In the 1920s, Henry Ford was searching for a way to

circumvent the British monopoly on rubber. To accomplish

this goal, he established two rubber plantations in the

Brazilian jungle, Fordlandia and Belterra, both of which

operated under the name Companhia Ford Industrial do

Brasil. Work began on these projects in 1926, with the

town of Fordlandia founded in 1928 and Belterra in 1934.

Ultimately, the two plantations were not successful, with

Henry Ford II selling all of the land back to the Brazilian

government in 1945. The Companhia Ford Industrial do

Brasil Records contains photographs, correspondence,

reports, accounting data, and employee information

pertaining to the operations.
