History
Dismembered from the municipality of Macapá, Serra do Navio was initially called Água Branca do Amapari and, later, Serra do Navio. It arose from the need to shelter the contingent of residents of the periphery of Vila Operária da Icomi, with the purpose of promoting subsistence agricultural activity. Built in the middle of the Amazon rainforest in the late 1950s and early 1960s, planned by the architect Oswaldo Bratke, Serra do Navio was configured as a true city of modern standards. Vila de Serra do Navio remained with this aspect of a city-company until political-administrative autonomy, conquered on May 1, 1992. Elevated to the category of municipality with the name Água Branca do Amapari, in 1992.
