History
On December 19, 1876, the Areia Branca Peace District was dissolved. The place went back to being just a village without a Justice of the Peace. On February 16, 1892, less than a year after the promulgation of the first Brazilian republican constitution, the Governing Board of the State of Rio Grande do Norte recognized the importance of the old title of Peace District of Areia Branca, elevating the village to the category from Vila de Areia Branca. The municipality was emancipated from Mossoró through Law nº 10, of February 16, 1892.
