History
The well-known village of Meira Matos, in the municipality of Tocantínia, located in the geographic center of the state, had its beginnings in March 1965, when a group of farmers and breeders, Antônio Maciel Bastos, Carlindo Vieira da Rocha, Sebastião Abreu Vasconcelos and Domingos da Silva Rios moved there, settling down with their families. Initially, the village received the name of Meira Matos, in honor of the Brigadier General of the same name. Later, under the State Law of the then State of Goiás, nº 10.411, of December 30, 1987, Meira Matos was transformed into a Municipality, with the toponym of Aparecida do Rio Negro. Before completing his first year in office, Mayor José Eurico Costa died tragically, drowned in the waters of the Rio Balsas, on 06/04/1990. The Deputy took over the executive power

Former Names:

 * Meira Matos

The first name of the village was Troca-tapas. Then, to honor the interim governor of the time, it was changed to Meira Matos. With political emancipation, the city was renamed Aparecida do Rio Negro. The justification for the name is given in honor of Nossa Senhora Aparecida, Patroness of the City, and the Rio Negro, which bathes the city.
