According to legend this rancher was bitten by a poisonous snake and promised, if he were cured, to donate all the lands he could see from the heights of a hill called São Domingos to the Divine Holy Spirit.

The city began to prosper again the 1980s with rural electrification, mechanization of agriculture and paved highways leading to other centers.

The municipality is the largest producer of cereals in the Southeast region of Goiás and one of the biggest in the state.

The most important crops are cotton and soy, but there is also cultivation of corn, rice, potato, tomato, coffee, manioc, and garlic.
