Founded in October 1983, the newspaper is now in its eighth year of operation, having maintained itself without any outside political or financial support, a rare achievement among overseas Chinese newspapers, particularly in Brazil, where the overseas Chinese situation is problematic and many newspapers have come and gone in the past.
從一九八三年十月創刊，在沒有任何政治靠山及財團支持的情況下，美洲華報在僑情複雜、僑報生生滅滅的巴西苦撐了八個年頭，也算是僑報史上的一個異數了。
