History
In remote times there was only a small lake in the area where the city was built. In 1842, two couples built houses and implemented agriculture and livestock. The colonization of the territory starts from there. Some time later, other families also began to settle in the locality. The pioneers of this colonization process were José Barbosa, Francisco José Santana and the Maurício family. With the creation of the municipality of Arapiraca, Lagoa da Canoa became part of it as a village, but with great importance in the economic, social and political context. Coffee farms brought jobs and income. In addition, it served as a support point on the road that linked Arapiraca to Traipu and Girau do Ponciano. In territorial divisions dating from 1936 and 1937, the district of Lagoa da Canoa appears in the municipality of Traipú. And in 1950, the district of Lagoa da Canoa, appears in the municipality of Arapiraca. Its growing evolution culminated in the elevation to the category of autonomous municipality, on August 28, 1962, through Law nº 2.472. Removed from Arapiraca, the new municipality was officially installed on January 25, 1963.
