History
On October 23, 1894, it elevated the town to the status of city and municipal seat, this condition being revoked on October 29, 1901, which returned the city to the category of town. On October 4, 1928, the lost condition was restored. On December 7, 1944, the toponym was changed to Darcilena. On February 6, 1954, the previous decree-law was repealed, changing its name to the Municipality of Cedro de São João. The municipality had its territory dismembered from the Municipality of Propriá, to which it is historically linked.
