Only a part of  northeast of Brazil was d Dutch colony from 1630 to
1654.
With the failure of the invasion of Bahia (1624), where they stayed  for
one year, but with the valuable support of Isabel from England and
Henrique IV from France, resentful enemies from Spain, Holland, through
Índias Westerner Company, formed by the coalition of small associations,
in 1621, whose capital had risen, in little time, to 7 million florins,
it went back his/her interest to Pernambuco.
I don´t know about Dutch setlements in Belo Horizonte (this a main city
of Minas Gerais State), but in State of São Paulo there are the Holambra
city, founded after 2. Word War.
