The municipality was officially founded in 1902 as part of Piauí's administrative expansion in the region. Since then, it has gradually developed through economic and demographic changes typical of northeastern Brazil.

The town's character reflects deep-rooted agricultural practices that remain central to daily life and local identity. You can sense this connection in community spaces and how people engage with the land and each other throughout the region.
