History
The foundation itself is attributed to the inhabitants who populated the region, around the years 1750-1800. According to the official story, one of the descendants of the settlers of the Soares Cardoso Moreno family, coming from Ceará, settled in the flat lands, with a cattle farm and mill. With the growth of the region, some pioneers - such as Leôncio Costa, Alfredo Pessoa de Lima, and many others - made efforts to transform the small village into a District of Peace. District created on December 4, 1926, the small cluster was renamed Moreno, a name given in honor of its founder. On November 15, 1938, Moreno was elevated to the category of Villa. The old Vila de Moreno, achieved its independence and political, administrative and social emancipation, thanks to a strong demand from the men of great vision of the time. Elevated to the municipality of Solânea, dated November 26, 1953.
