History
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Teodósio, Vieira, Viana and Félix families started the settlement of the current municipality of Pariconha. They established themselves with agriculture and livestock, mainly with the rearing of small animals. Settling in a locality called "Povoado Caraibeiras dos Teodósios", on the banks of the Moxotó River, the Teodósios family still has its descendants there. The rest of the colonizing families in the region settled in the place where the county seat is today. About 20 years after the arrival of these first settlers, a group of the Jaripancós Indian tribe, originally from the municipality of Tacaratú, in Pernambuco, precisely from a locality called Brejo dos Padres, installed a village in the Serra do Ouricuri, near the current city. The village today receives assistance from the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI). According to local history, a ouricurizeiro whose fruits contained two "conhas" - as the pulps of these fruits were called - gave rise to the name of the city, which was initially known as "Par-de-Conha" and, later, simplified to Pariconha. The Pariconha Judicial District and its Civil Registry Office were created by Law 2240, of May 1, 1962, although the latter was installed ten years later. The municipality was created by the State Constitution on October 5, 1989, separated from Água Branca, but its definitive installation only took place on January 1, 1993.

District created with the name Pariconha, in 1962. Elevated to the category of municipality in 1989, dismembered from Água Branca. Emancipation: 04/07/1992
