History
It is not possible to specify the exact time when this village began, but the pioneers of this valley were the immigrants from the northeast of Ceará, who arrived around 1914, later other families arrived. In the 1950s, due to the economic decline of the Northeast, the severe drought, and family and political conflicts in the lands in the sertão, the exodus of families occurred, providing the small village with its greatest development. The first families faced great difficulties due to the precarious conditions in which the place offered, so many who arrived here died victims of fever caused by malaria. An old cemetery in a mango grove is registered in 1950. With the arrival of 50 families in 1952, the nucleus of Mojuí dos Campos underwent great population growth. Many families in search of land to work, were located in the mediations close to the village and the first agricultural colonies of northeastern workers were born: Bom Gosto, Palhal, Boeira, Boa Fé, Poço Verde, São Tomé, Baixa Dágua, among others. In 1964, the village of Mojuí dos Campos was elevated to the category of Village by State Law 3,227 of December 31, signed by the State Governor Colonel Jarbas Passarinho. On December 5, 2012 Mojuí dos Campos is spun off from Santarém.
