History
Queimada do Silva, was the name of the village where the municipality of Imaculada is located today. At the time, he was the owner of the land, the caboclo Manoel Coleta da Silva. The local landowners, together with the farmers of the Piancó Valley, organized the village's first open-air market. Obtaining a satisfactory result, they then decided to continue it weekly, which contributed to the arrival of many families who migrated to the place, building new houses, forming the village. In 1885, at the invitation of Canon Bernardo, Friar Serafim, of the Franciscan Order of Minors, made several visits and preached in the village and on December 8 of the same year, the day consecrated to Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Friar Serafim gave the place the name of Imaculada, and in the same year the construction of the main chapel began. In 1889, Father Rangel, together with cap. Delmiro and with the collaboration of the Almeida family, they built the current Matriz de Imaculada, which at the time was subordinate to the parish of Teixeira. In 1911, the district of Imaculada appears in the municipality. Elevated to the category of municipality with the name of Imaculada, on January 4, 1965, separated from Teixeira.
