The settlement began in the 16th century as a Portuguese outpost during the early colonization of Brazil's coast. It later grew into an established community with economic roots in fishing and coastal trade.
The settlement maintains strong ties to the sea, visible in local celebrations and the prominent role of seafood in everyday meals. These maritime traditions shape how the community gathers and shares food.
