History
Brumadinho was settled in 1689. The Banda São Sebastião Musical Corporation, a symphonic band, was founded on May 13, 1929, by Tarcilio Gomes da Costa in Brumadinho. The municipality of Brumadinho itself was officially established on December 17, 1938. On January 25, 2019, the city was the victim of a tailings dam collapse that killed 270 people. The disaster released a mudflow that advanced over houses in a rural area near the city.
