History
The municipality of Feijó had its lands inhabited by the Jaminawás, Kaxinauwás and Chacauwás tribes. With the arrival of the Northeasterners at the mouth of the River Envira, in 1879, the region began to be explored, going up the rivers and streams, clearing 'their' lots and lands and even 'rubber plantations'. However, there were several conflicts in the jungle, between the northeast and the Indians due to the eviction of these areas of land, which shortly afterwards became rubber plantations. It is in this context that the Seringal Porto Alegre appears on the left bank of the river Envira, which later gave rise to the municipality of Feijó. After a few years, the rubber plantation became a village, and on May 13, 1906, it was elevated to the category of village under the name of Feijó, in honor of Father Diogo Feijó, a name that remains to this day.

Founded: December 21, 1938. Elevated to the category of village with the name of Feijó, in 1906. Elevated to the condition of city, by decree-law nº 968, of 1928. In 1938, the municipality is extinct, and its territory is annexed to the municipality of Seabra ex-Taraucá. Elevated again to the category of municipality with the name of Feijó, in 1938. Separated from Seabra.
