Carmópolis de Minas

The indigenous inhabitants of the region were the Carijós, Goianazes and Cataguás.

They moved through the area, leaving some white settlers in charge of farming, to ensure food supply on their return.

In 1807, construction began of the Church, by Father Dominic da Costa Guimarães.

The town slowly developed, and in 1862 became the village of Oliveira, which it remained until 1948, when it was named Carmópolis de Minas.
