History
The monk Frei Domingos is considered the founder of Murici. According to legend, he was the one who planted a "bravo muricizeiro", a small fruit from a large tree, around 1810. In the shade of the tree, travelers stopped to rest and sell products. Before becoming a city, the village of Murici belonged to the old Vila dos Macacos, Imperatriz, Santa Maria Madalena and União dos Palmares. From 1855 to 1860 the town had moments of great political tension. The District was created with the name of Muricí, in 1861. It was elevated to the category of village in 1872. In 1892, through Law 15, it was transformed into a city, with full emancipation on May 16, 1892.
