Prior to the invasion of portuguese colonizers, the region where the city is now located was inhabited by the indigenous ethnicity known by the exonym "Coroados". Circa 1903, the first milestone in the history of the city is established, the arrival of Manoel Rodrigues da Silva and his family, having acquired the initial terrain of 15 coffee alqueires, where the first house was built.Template:Short description
