History
Between 1572 and 1582, an indigenous catechesis grew on the left bank of the Inhambupe River (Rio Inhambupe de Cima). The Jesuits opened a school in nearby Água Fria. The Marshal of the Casa da Torre dos Garcia D'Ávila erected a church of the Divine Holy Spirit in Inhambupe in the 1620s. According to local tradition, at the end of the 19th century, the mystic Antônio Conselheiro passed through the city, before the War of Canudos. Municipal Law No.1 of 20 October 1909 established the districts of Barreiro, Bebedouro, Caetitú, Calumbi, Caueira, Curralinho, Encantado, Gibóia, Jacu, Junco, Lagoa, Mulungu, Recreio and Tanquinho. In 1933, it was reduced to 4 districts: Inhambupe, Aporá, Itapororocas and Sátiro Dias. Itapororocas was replaced with Itamira (formerly Serra do Aporã) district in 1938. By State Law No. 1021 of 14 August 1958, the districts of Aporá and Itamira became part of the new Municipality of Aporá.
