The Madeira Mamoré railroad construction at the beginning of the 20th century (1907-1912), led thousands of workers attracted by the employment offer to the Amazon. Among them were the British Black Antillean, which corresponded to the first free black immigration to Brazil. In addition to their suitcases, these immigrants also took their culture and religious matrix. In consequence of that, the first evangelical church in Rondônia was implemented. This paper looks for a bridge between the beginning of the Porto Velho urban center implantation and the IBGE data. Those data indicates that Rondônia, state located in the Brazilian Amazon, has the greater proportion of protestants in relation to the population and its capital, Porto Velho, occupies the 4th position in number of evangelicals proportionally to the population.
