History
The plot of land ceded to Colonel José Novaes by the government, which was subdivided, sold to friends, and passed on to his heirs. The town's seat was the Bomfim Farm (Coronel's property), which has barely developed. On the other side of the river, a new village was developing more quickly, Filanesia, one of the lots that were sold to the Colonel's nephew, Filadelfo. It belonged to Jequié, Jaguaquara and almost 100 years later, in 1989, it was emancipated. With emancipation, Apuarema and Filanesia, became just Apuarema.

District created with the name of Apuarema, on December 31, 1943, with territory separated from the district of Ipiúna, subordinated to the municipality of Jaguaguara.

Elevated to the category of a municipality with the name of Apuarema, on June 13, 1989, dismembered from the municipalities of Jaguaquara and Wenceslau Guimarães (formerly Indaiá).
