Santa Bárbara de Goiás

History

The settlement of Santa Bárbara began in 1930 with the arrival in the area of its first settlers, Pedro Luís Tavares, Antônio José de Araújo, and Tomás Lobo. Two years later the construction began of a chapel honoring Saint Barbara, known as defender against storms and lightning, which were very common in the area. At first it was a district of the municipality of Trindade and got city status in 1963. Source: [https://web.archive.org/web/20070115162332/http://www.seplan.go.gov.br/sepin/ Sepin]
