Plagued by squatters, pillagers and vandals, it eventually housed 146 families living in squalid and unsafe conditions, a group of around 30 Little Sisters of Jesus living in equally abject conditions to their charges, and various small concerns, devoted amongst other things to transport, packing of anchovies and ripening of bananas.
Thanks to the help of a group of missionary nuns (the Little Sisters of Jesus) and protective measures by the Brazilian government, the population began to recover, and was 136 in 1976.
