History
The first families arrived in this municipality around 1935. These families came mainly from the islands of Pará, in search of good land and plentiful food, founding a village and working mainly in crops. The origin of the name of the municipalities comes from the fact that there is an abundance of hardwood in that locality known by the name of itaúba, or mezilaurus itauba (meissin). This wood is of high commercial value in the state, although currently, due to constant deforestation, it is endangered in that region. In 1988, Itaubal became a district of Macapá. In 1991, through a democratic process, Governor Anníbal Barcellos, in his second term, held a plebiscite to find out the will of the population of the district of Itaubal: whether they wanted the place to be transformed into a Municipality or not. District created with the name of Itaubal de Piririm (former village), in 1981. Elevated to the category of municipality with the name of Itaubal, in 1992. Former Names:
 * Itaubal de Piririm
