History
In 1850, in the region where the municipality is located, there were only a few houses; at the time, the place was much visited by the authorities of Antenor Navarro e Souza, who came in search of cangaceiros who took refuge in the place. A few years later, many houses were built there, standing out among the residents, Mr. Manoel Bernardino and the Mangabeira and Liberato families.

In 1864, Mr. Manoel Bernardino, fulfilling his promise, built a chapel in honor of Menino Deus. The village received the name of "Picadas", being modified years later to Triunfo, by the priest Ibiapina. At the time, there was a busy free fair, with the participation of residents from all over the region.

District created with the name of Triunfo ex-povoado, on June 24, 1957, subordinated to the municipality of Antenor Navarro. Elevated to the category of municipality with the name of Triunfo, on December 20, 1961, spun off from Antenor Navarro.
