History
The historical records of the municipality of Campestre are linked to the municipality of Jundiá, from which the village was created. The name of the village originated from the green fields existing in the mid-18th century between the hills that surrounded the entire region. At first, there were only a few houses. With the construction of the road to Palmares, in the state of Pernambuco, Campestre began to develop. The village was established with the installation of the industrial activities of Usina Santa Therezinha, currently inactive, and the open market, which was considered the largest in the region. It grew progressively, surpassing the seat of the municipality. In the administration of José Ribeiro Caminha, in Jundiá, the process of expropriation of land took place, facilitating urban growth. Domingos Barreto da Silva and Antonio Sijames Granja were also part of the evolution of the village. The struggle for emancipation began in 1987, with the mayor, Gervásio de Oliveira Lins, at the time mayor of Jundiá. In 1988, approved by the City Council, state deputy José Medeiros took over the movement. And on November 25, 1994, Governor Geraldo Bulhões sanctioned the law that granted administrative autonomy to Campestre.
