History
The beginning of its settlement began with the installation of the family of João Alves de Araújo, in 1885, on a farm, in front of a white rock called "Morro das Andorinhas", because the place, usually in the late afternoons, served as a landing for swallows.

The farm became a meeting point for drovers and travelers. Thus, a small village began to form around the farm and, later, with the inauguration of the road to Senhor do Bonfim, a larger settlement took place.

On December 30, 1953 - Andorinha was created as a district. On July 13, 1989 - Dismembered from the Municipality of Senhor do Bonfim.
