History
Samambaia was created on October 25, 1989, to settle families coming from invasions and backyards, coming from different parts of the country to the Federal District. With the officialization, through law 49 and decree 11,291, it became the 12th Administrative Region of the Federal District - RA XII/DF, and began to be urbanized.

The urban project was prepared 11 years earlier, in 1978, by the Structural Plan for Territorial Organization – PEOT, implemented in 1982. The first lots in the city were sold on block 406 and in the Mansões Leste Sector (today Taguatinga). As early as 1985, the first residents began to live in the city.

Three years after the first occupations, 3,381 houses were built for low-income families, mainly civil servants. The home was acquired with the support of the Social Interest Housing System – SHIS through financing from the National Bank.

From 1989 onwards, the city began to receive a large number of families in search of their 'place in the sun'. Today Samambaia is among the fastest growing cities in the Federal District and in Brazil, with an eye on sustainable development and quality of life.

The Administrative Region of Samambaia was created on October 25, 1989 by Law no. 49, which defined it as RA XII, its limits being set by Decree No. 11,921. The emergence of the city resulted from the guidelines adopted in the Structural Plan for Territorial Organization - PEOT, elaborated in 1978, which determined vectors for the expansion of urban areas as a result of the rapid population growth of the DF and the consequent need to offer housing sectors. From the PEOT, in 1981, the project that defined the foundation of the new city was approved, and the population forecast was estimated at 330 thousand inhabitants, from different social classes, although there was a greater urgency to shelter low-income groups.

The place chosen for the implantation of the city belonged to the Taguatinga Rural Nucleus, formed by a set of farms producing vegetables, fruits, vegetables and flowers since 1958. Part of this space continued to be expropriated, later, to allow the expansion of Samambaia, preserving, however, the Três Meninas farm, which became an important cultural and educational reference in RA when it became the Três Meninas Ecological and Experience Park. The city was renamed Samambaia by correspondence to the name of the stream that cuts through the region, whose source is located just below residential blocks 127 and 327 and where plants of the fern species were found in abundance.
