History
History tells that a few years later several missionaries of the Franciscan order arrived in the region, who were enchanted by the topography of the place, which had high and low plans, changing its name to Monte Santo. Accustomed to the old name of the city, the inhabitants ignored the Franciscans and kept the name Coqueiro Seco. The only historical record found concerns the construction of the church covered with Portuguese tiles and a large patio, which continues to this day as the mother of the patron saint, Nossa Senhora Mãe dos Homens. It was built in the 17th century by the Portuguese José Cabral. The district was created in 1938. When Satuba was elevated to the status of autonomous municipality on August 20, 1960, Coqueiro Seco became part of its territory, still as a village. On November 15, 1962, the city was politically emancipated, officially installing it's administrative autonomy on November 24, through law 2,463, of August 23, 1962.
