History
The Castelo property, owned by the brothers Jacinto and Valentim Ferreira Lima, was created as a village on May 18, 1922, still belonging to the Municipality of Sena Madureira. The name of Castelo was borrowed from the first ship that docked there. Vila Castelo was spun off from the Municipality of Sena Madureira, through Federal Law No. 6,163, of December 1943, changing its name to Manoel Urbano. On March 1, 1963, it was designated a Municipality and obtained its autonomy through State Law nº 588, of May 14, 1976.
