History
On October 26, 1884, the village was elevated to the category of village already known at that time as Santa Rosa - belonging to the municipality of Divina Pastora. Two years later, an image of Santa Rosa was donated to a chapel built by Jesuit priests, which gave rise to the name of the village. On December 31, 1943, the name of Vila Santa Rosa was changed to CAMBOATÁ. On November 25, 1953, the Municipality of Camboatá was created, which had been in full progress, thus being dismembered from that of Divina Pastora.
