History
As the settlement of the Madeira River Valley advanced, developing areas appeared, such as the current cities of Novo Aripuanã, Manicoré and Humaitá. Splitting up from Borba in 1955, the autonomous municipality of Novo Aripuanã emerged. Many settlers from the south of the country have come to this region in recent times. On 12.30.1987, by Law nº 826, the area of ​​the Municipality of Novo Aripuanã was emancipated, becoming the new Municipality of Apuí. The municipality of Apuí is located on the Trans-Amazonian Highway, a project that was created by deputy Hamilton Cidade and approved by the governor Amazonino Mendes on December 30, 1987 by law nº 826. The name Apuí comes from a prevalent tree of the Amazon region called Apuizeiro in which in the Tupi language means "strong arm". Changed to the category of municipality with the name of Apuí in 1981. Installation date: 01/01/1989
