History
Back in 1870, at Sítio Monte Alegre, located in the Serra de São Bento, a settlement that was quite prosperous due to the large livestock farming industry, a settlement began. In 1953, with the creation of the municipality of Monte Alegre, it was necessary for the village to change its original name - Sítio Monte Alegre - to Monte das Gameleiras, in reference to the beautiful tree existing in the place. On November 8, 1963, through Law No. 2,976, it was separated from Japi, becoming a municipality with the name Monte das Gameleiras.
