History
Between 1949 and 1950, Cia. Toledo Pizza, whose director was Ruy Toledo Pizza, started the opening of the Zimaré and Macuco plots. The Zimaré plot was sold to Alonso Carvalho Braga and the Macuco plot to Reynaldo Massi and Valter Delfino. The flow of settlers who acquired lots was large and these, with a lot of sacrifice of all kinds of difficulties that the environment offered, formed coffee plantations. The pioneer Joaquim Domingos Filho, as a contractor hired by Reynaldo Massi, formed the first plantation on the site in 1950, planting the first 1500 coffee trees. In 1953, the village known as Macuco takes shape, with the installation of Mr. Anercilio Dirno Martinelle. This was followed by the first pension, by Mr. Indalécio Vieira da Silva, the first gas station and the first sawmill, owned by Mr. Reynaldo Massi. The denomination of Diamante do Norte is due to the name of Diamante given to the stream next to the village, due to the fact that some residents had discovered certain stones (rock crystals) there that claimed to be diamonds.
