Best Answer

Three cities in northern Brazil grew out of the rubber boom.

One, Belem (Portuguese for 'Bethlehem') in Para State became the main exporting center of the Amazon rubber industry. It's still the main commercial center of northern Brazil. One of its main industries now is mining metals such as aluminum, iron ore, etc.

Two, Manaus ['Mother of the gods'] in Amazonas State has many successful economic industries, including timber and Brazil nuts.

Three, the most important economic industry for Porto Velho in Rondonia State now is cassiterate, which is an ore of tin.
