History
Until the 1760s, the indigenous tribes of Kanindé and Jenipapo populated the territory that is known as Quixadá. The fact that it used to be the land of indigenous explains why Quixadá does not have a Portuguese name. The conflicts between these groups and the Portuguese led to the indigenous peoples' extinction.
