History
Cajueiro has its origin as a village, in the mid-19th century. It is on the banks of the Paraíba River, and created by the Marcelino family. Migrants from the sertao, an arid region of scrub, in search of Pilar and Maceió rested their animals in the shade of a leafy cashew tree, and that is where the name came from. In 1904, Cajueiro was raised to the category of municipality. In 1912, the seat of the village of Cajueiro was transferred to the village of Paraíba. On May 22, 1958, it was again raised to municipality, with the area removed from Capela.

Former Names:
 * Euclides Malta
 * Chamada de Paraíba.
