History

The city was founded as New Bragança (after Bragança, Portugal).

gollark: Yes, "who asked" and excessive channel policing actually bad and not good.
gollark: So I want to actually learn electronics hardware stuff and can probably get relevant items for that as it is Christmas soon. What should I get? I'm slightly aware I could use a soldering iron and whatever, but not of specifics (and also where to get it). I'm vaguely interested in microcontrollers and wireless communication things.
gollark: They're used in a lot of places where there's no fixed line networking available, as far as I know.
gollark: I should create a random folder filled with a few thousand files so I can seem productive.
gollark: I guess the advantage is that it has GPIO pins? But you can... buy microcontrollers, very cheaply.
