History
The municipality of São Vicente do Araguaia – current Araguatins – was the first to administer the Lontra settlement. Years later, the town became part of Boa Vista do Tocantins, today Tocantinópolis. In 1925, with the arrival of more families, new perspectives for growth took hold of the residents and the first church was erected in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The name change to Povoado Araguaína – in homage to the Araguaia River – happened in 1948, with the creation of the municipality of Filadélfia. The locality became part of the new city. Municipal Law nº 86, of September 30, 1953, transformed Povoado Araguaína into a district. But the development of the locality culminated in the process of creating the municipality of Araguaína. Municipal Law nº 52, of July 20, 1958, which authorized the dismemberment of the district.
