History
Coruripe is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Alagoas. The region became known in the history of Brazil for having been the scene of the sinking of the ship Nossa Senhora da Ajuda, which was carrying Bishop Dom Pero Fernandes Sardinha to Portugal. History also records the shipwreck of the Spanish navigator Dom Rodrigo de Albaña, who was honored with the baptism of a large rock, in 1560. The village was born from a chapel, where pau-brasil and other woods were already actively traded. The district was created in 1726. In the second half of the 19th century, the prosperity of Coruripe made it surpass the village of Poxim, to which it was subordinated. It was elevated to a village in 1866. With the change of headquarters, the parish under the invocation of Nossa Senhora da Conceição was also transferred. In 1882, the district of Coruripe was installed, which was extinguished in 1932 and restored in 1935. In 1892, Coruripe was elevated to a city and municipal seat. Full political emancipation was on May 16, 1986.
