History
In 1872, Provincial Law No. 691, of September 9 of the same year, recognized the place as a settlement and named it São Vicente do Araguaia. But only in 1913, by law of the State of Goiás, on June 21st, was the Municipality of São Vicente created. Due to the political turbulence of the time, the municipality was only installed on September 7, 1931, by decree No. 1,224, of June 7 of the same year. By force of Decree-Law of the State of Goiás nº 8.305, of December 31, 1943, the name of São Vicente was replaced by Araguatins. It is believed, according to some popular versions, that the origin of the name of the Municipality is due to the fusion of the names of the Araguaia and Tocantins rivers. In 1945, Federal Decree-Law nº 7.655, of June 18 of the same year, forced the transfer of the municipal seat to Itaguatins, effected by Decree-Law of the State of Goiás nº 550, of June 19 of the same year. Araguatins became a District, subordinated to the political-administrative administration of Itaguatins in the period from 1943 to 1948. Only on October 13, 1948, another Decree-law of the State of Goiás, nº 184, brought the municipal headquarters back to Araguatins, with its definitive installation on January 1, 1949.
