History
The current Batalha region is historically linked to the municipality of Belo Monte, from which it was removed. The Batalha region was also linked to the municipalities of Traipu and Pão de Açúcar. The village or parish called Lagoa Funda, was created on May 24, 1887. It is on the left bank of the São Francisco River and close to the Ipanema River. It developed through the establishment of owners and cattle ranchers. In December 1947, a state law transferred the seat of the then municipality of Belo Monte to Vila da Batalha. In 1949, finally, the municipality secured the name of Batalha, becoming a district in 1952. By state law nº 2094, of 24-04-1958, the district of Belo Monte is separated from the municipality of Batalha and raised to a municipality on April 24, 1958.

In territorial division dated 1-VII-1960, the municipality is made up of the district headquarters.
