Count of Ribeira Grande

The Counts of Ribeira Grande (Portuguese: Condes de Ribeira Grande) was a title of nobility granted to a hereditary line of nobles from the island of São Miguel in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores, most closely associated with the Gonçalves da Câmara familial line. The title was first conferred to D. Manuel Luís Baltazar da Câmara in 1662, and his branch of the Câmara dynastic family continued to receive the title long after the extinction of noble titles in 1910.
