History
Emancipated from Alexandria and Pau dos Ferros in the 1950s, the name of the municipality is a tribute to Marcelino Vieira da Costa, a farmer and breeder from Paraíba, who came to Rio Grande do Norte and stood out in politics.

In 1890, the village was elevated to the category of district and, two years later, to the category of village, whose name was changed to "Panatis" in 1943, in honor of the original inhabitants of the place. Finally, on November 24, 1953, state law nº 909 separated parts of the municipality of Alexandria and Pau dos Ferros to form the new municipality of Marcelino Vieira, in reference to Marcelino Vieira da Costa (1858-1938), farmer, breeder and a farmer from Paraíba, born in the district of Quixaba, municipality of Uiraúna, who moved to Rio Grande do Norte, having lived at Sítio Aroeira in Luís Gomes.
