History
In the 17th century, an indigenous village already existed on the site, called Poço dos Veados. The Dutch arrived in the region in the 19th century. The region served as a landing port and route for Portuguese and Dutch troops during the conflict resulting from the Dutch invasion of the region. Subsequently, the fishing village remained and became a parish within the parish of Nossa Senhora da Conceição do Passo, which grew especially with the implementation of a shipyard in the 19th century. Barra de Santo Antônio was elevated to a municipality on 08/20/1960.
