Nazário

History

The name of the town comes from the first name of its founder, Nazário de Pereira Oliveira, who first settled in the region in the nineteenth century. He built the first house at the meeting of the waterways Córrego dos Buriti and Rio dos Bois. Later a chapel was erected in honor of Our Lady of the Conception. Moved by religious faith several families arrived and by 1930 the settlement took on the name of Nazário. At first it was a district of the now extinct municipality of Novo Horizonte, which later, in 1938 became Anicuns. In 1948 Nazário got its emancipation and became an independent municipality.
