==History==

The settlement that is now the municipality of Igaci was founded by João de Lima Acioli of Portugal in the mid-19th century.
The original name was Olho D'Água do Acioli, or Acioli's Waterholes, due to the many pools in the region.
The abundant water attracted many families from areas that suffered from droughts, particularly in 1877, when there was a severe drought in Alagoas.
The first urban settlement of the municipality was founded soon after.
Early settlers in the town were Serapião Sampaio, Santos Silva, captain Bartolomeu de Souza Vergueiro, Justino Luiz, the Torres and Tomas de Albuquerque families and [[Carlos Pontes]] who later became an important figure in Brazilian literature and national politics.{{sfn|História : IBGE}}

Olho D'Água do Acioli was named a town and judicial district of  [[Palmeira dos Índios]] by State law No. 428 of 15 June 1904.
The town became more important when the Grewestern railway reached it, now operated by the Rede Ferroviária Federal do Nordeste.
At this time its name was changed to Igaci, the indigenous word for waterhole. 
Many [[cotton gin]]s began operation to process the local harvest, although as of 2017 only one remained. 
Law No. 2087 of 27 December 1857 established Igaci as a separate municipality from Palmeira dos Índios effective 12 January 1959.
It has a single district, Igaci.{{sfn|História : IBGE}}
