=History=
Modern day Palmero was first sighted by Portuguese Explorer Vaso De Payo in 1778 and claimed for Portugal who began colonising the harbour in 1786, the settlement of Palmero was then founded in 1794. It was used as an important trade centre for the Portuguese and as the main Military garrison for Portuguese Forces in the Portuguese half of the Shmakalakan Islands. In 1797 the Portuguese constructed Fort Lisboa and Forte Sao Jorge to protect the growing settlement. Immigration from Portugal to the Costa Dourado Colonies was managed by the Costa Dourado Company who managed the intrests of the Portuguese on the Islands. Many Portuguese Immigrated to the colonies during Peninsular war of 1821. By 1840 Palmero was a major exporter of Fruit, Coffee, Wine, Beer and Olives. Palmero was the main centre for Portuguese Imperialism over the Costa Dourado Colony and the neighbouring Ilha Grande and Travira Colonies from 1810 onwards. As a result of the Berlin Conference in 1884 Portugal ceded their 3 Colonies to Britain, this was met with anger in the colonies and saw some riots in Palmero causing minor damage, the Anger turned to joy when Britain announced they would continue on with the lenghty Treaty of United Territoires discussion with the aim of one day uniting the colonies of Shmakalaka. The Treaty saw Porto Azul become the Capital city in 1901 which natrually saw Palmero become inferior. In 1999 the Palmero's population reached 2 million. Currently to date Palmero is the fastest growing Metropolitan area in Shmakalaka, fueled by migrants from South America and Central America many from Colombia. Today it is expected that by 2036 Palmero will become the most populated city in Shmakalaka with Porto Azul's net population increasing at a far slower rate then Palmero.
