River City Janeiro was founded on March 1, 1565, by the Portuguese military Estacio de Sa, with the name of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro (St Sebastian of Rio de Enero). For centuries, the settlement was called São Sebastião, instead of the currently popular second half of his name. The city was founded as a base from which to invade the French settlement, which was finally achieved in 1567 and the French were expelled.
