History
In 1833, the Provincial Council suggested to the General Government the creation of several villages, including Angicos. On April 11, 1833, the president of the province, Manoel Lobo Miranda Henrique, separated Angicos from the territory of the municipality of Açu, granting it its autonomy. The population of Santana do Matos, which became part of the village of Angicos, felt that their rights were being harmed and began to fight against the independence of Angicos. Even so, the first City Council was installed on February 27, 1834, which operated until January 12, 1835, under the presidency of Captain Jerônimo Cabral. Law no. 26, of March 28, 1935, suppresses the town of Angicos, reverting it to the municipality of Açu, then Vila da Princesa. On October 13, 1936, the president of the province João José Ferreira de Aguiar restored, through resolution nº 9, the municipality. Law nº 20, of October 24, 1936, granted Angicos city charters.

Former Names: It is said that in 1783, when Vila Nova da Princesa was created - today the city of Açu - covering the municipalities of Açu, Angicos, Macau and Santana do Matos, several farms were already located in the territory of Angicos. Below the Pataxó River there were also a part of land distributed as follows: 6 km from Captain-Major Baltazar da Rocha Bezerra; 6 km from Colonel Miguel Barbosa Bezerra; 18 km from Colonel Antônio da Rocha Bezerra. These possessions are recorded in the "land measurement records" from 1756.
