History
The Municipality of Agricolândia originated from the Fazenda Feitoria, traditionally known as Feitoria dos Leal. Around the Feitoria dos Leal, other farms were installed, which attracted large numbers of workers from other places.

The core was changing at an accelerated pace and within a short time it already had the characteristics of a village.

The feeling of religiosity played a fundamental role in the development of Agricolândia. In 1940, on the initiative of Catholic groups, the first chapel was built, in honor of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, today the patron saint of the city.

Having reached a high level of development, local leaders organized a movement aimed at their political emancipation, which was achieved in 1962 with the creation of the municipality, which received the name of Agricolândia, due to the region, essentially agricultural.

1962 - Elevated to the category of municipality and district with the name of Agricolândia, by state law nº 2369, of December 5, dismembered from São Pedro do Piauí. Installed December 30th.
