History
The municipality was created due to a cattle farm that was installed in 1936 by Félix de Souza Negrão. He was considered the founder of the city. It is true that before that time, there should already have been residents in nearby regions. In 1940 a free fair or market was created and attended by the people of the region and traders from surrounding towns. In addition to Félix de Souza Negrão, Joaquim Belarmino Barros, Clarindo Amorim, José Antônio Duarte and Colimério Ferreira Ferro are also considered pioneers of the area. The name of Minador do Negrão, came from the fact that there is a source of crystal clear water of excellent quality and great potential on the property of Félix Negrão. In 1950 it was elevated to the status of a village, due to continuing progress. It always belonged to Palmeira dos Índios, from where it was emancipated. The struggle for its political independence found its main leaders in deputy Remi Maia and in Joaquim Belarmino Barros. It was achieved through Law nº 2470 of August 27, 1962, and its official installation took place on September 9 of the same year, with the territory formed by only one district, that of the headquarters, a situation that still persists today.
