History
The settlement is due to a hunter named Ponciano who, accompanied by two companions, installed a tour for his hunts, taking advantage of the abundant game. So the first property was founded. Years later, Cidade Rodrigues and her children, Manoel and Antônio, established a new property. They brought a lot of movement to the region, given the fertility of their lands. The progress of Belo Horizonte, the first name of the village, was rapid. With justice it received the name of Ponciano.

In territorial divisions dating from 1936 and 1937, it appears in the municipality of Traipú, the district of Belo Horizonte, which in 1943 changed its name to Ponciano. It was elevated to the category of municipality with the name Girau do Ponciano, in 1958, with emancipation completed on January 01, 1958.
