The championship of DEP, originally created to represent the state championship, was turned by the FFD as a Vale do paraíba championship after the pression of Niterói and Campos' clubs. The 1955 State Championship was organized in 1956 with the champions and runners-up[*] of Niterói, Campos and Vale do Paraíba of the 1955 season. Goytacaz and Barra Mansa ended the championship with the same number of lost point, and decided the title in a final. With one draw and one win Goytacaz conquered the 1955 State Championship. However in 1962 FFD turned back on it's decision and all champions of DEP were again recognized as state championships. The championship disputed between the champions of DEP and the Niterói and Campos city leagues became an extra state tournament, called State Superchampionship. [*] With the exception of Fluminense Atlético Clube, runner-up of 1955 Niterói City League. The club abandoned profissionalism and was replaced by the third-placed Cruzeiro Futebol Clube.
