History
The territory was part of the Sesmaria da Casa da Torre by Garcia D′Ávila. Its settlement began in the first half of the 19th century, by settlers who settled there developing livestock and subsistence farming.

The fertility of the land, suitable for farming and livestock, attracted other families who settled there, contributing to the formation of the Aporá village.

In 1816, the village was raised to the parish, with the name of Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Aporá, affiliated to the parish of Divino Espírito Santo de Inhambupe.

The village developed as a function of agriculture. In 1958, the municipality was created with the simplified name Aporá.

The toponym is a word of Tupi origin and means ″isolated and distinct hill in a united land″.

District created with the name of Aporá, on November 15, 1816.

Elevated to the category of a municipality with the name of Aporá, on August 14, 1958, dismembered from Inhambupe.
