History
The region began to be populated in the 30s with the arrival of the railway line that would connect Petrolina-PE to the city of Teresina-PI.

Even before the arrival of the railway line, the region was already called Acauã due to the birds called Acauã, which always made a nest in a “Baraúna” tree in front of the house of a resident named Mariinha.

With the agglomeration of residents, years later it became a settlement in the municipality of Paulistana-PI.

1995 - Elevated to the category of municipality and district with the name of Acauã, by State Law n.º 4.810, of December 14, when the emancipation of the municipality took place.

1997 - Installation of the municipality on January 1.
