History
In 1952, explorers Lino Nascimento de Souza and Evaristo Seabra Guimarães entered the region of Goiás in search of new land to settle. After being advised to follow the path by Bornerges Alencastro Veiga, they arrived in an area near to the Faina stream which was already inhabited by Maria Celestina Ferreira de Brito's family. After further investigations, they returned to the Capim Puba Farm to collect their relatives. On 15 July 1955, the explorers opened access roads to the area for nine families. They were joined the following year by another pioneer, Lindolfo Mendes da Cunha.[3]
