Born in the province of Rio Grande do Sul, he arrived in Manaus in 1890. Captain Ximeno de Villeroy was the first republican governor of Amazonas from January 4 to November 2, 1890, [1] appointed by the provisional government of the Republic for Amazonas and who contributed with a personal history closely linked to the military-positivist high command.

He was the creator of the municipality of Boa Vista do Rio Branco [1] (on July 9, 1890, by State Decree No. 49), currently Boa Vista, capital of Roraima, Brazil.[citation needed]
