History
The first historical reference found regarding the district of Aricanduva dates from 1892, when D. Maria Luisa de Mendonça, owner of a farm on the banks of the São Lourenço River, where the Paca stream flows, from or to Nossa Senhora do Livramento, through the vicar Father João Afonso Pires, Itamarandiba park, two bushels of land, so that they could be divided into lots and built the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Livramento and the Cemetery of São Miguel, because at that time the dead were taken to the Capelinha cemetery, 24 km away from this location. The cemetery was built in a joint effort, as was Cruzeiro de Bom Jesus, which was the mansion in that house, the starting point of the entire village. From there, residential houses were built, in the rustic style, blending into to the environment.
