History
Sobradinho began to originate when Antônio Gomes Rabelo occupied the land where the city is now located and founded the Sobradinho Farm. The place was quite dismembered due to many sales and inventories, becoming the property of several families.

During the construction of Brasília, between 1956 and 1960, one of the directors of Novacap (Companhia Urbanizadora da Nova Capital), federal deputy Iris Meinberg, who had been president of the National Confederation of Agriculture, had the idea of ​​creating a typically rural town in the Federal. The best option found was to settle the new city in the region, which traditionally developed agricultural activities since the time of its first occupants.

Starting in 1959, Novacap carried out a survey of an area where the headquarters of the administrative region would be located. There was a need to permanently house immigrant families from the Northeast of Goiás, Bahia and other states. These people were transferred to the margins of the old road that connected the Goiás city of Planaltina to the new capital. The then satellite city was named Sobradinho, and was founded on May 13, 1960, but it was only made official much later, by Decree nº 571, of 1967.

Like Brasília, Sobradinho is also a planned city. The city plan was drawn up between 1958 and 1959 by engineer Inácio de Lima Ferreira, who belonged to the team of engineers at Novacap's Department of Land and Agriculture. Lúcio Costa, urban planner, responsible for Brasilia's planning and head of Novacap's Department of Urbanism, preferred that the planning be carried out by an architect from his team. Sobradinho's project was then entrusted to the urban planner Paulo Hungria Machado, who had also prepared the urban plan for the administrative region of Gama. The construction of the city was carried out between 1959 and 1960 with resources from Novacap's Department of Land and Agriculture. Shortly after, Inácio Lima Ferreira resumed the project, performing topographic services, street layout and leasing of land.
