History

Beginning in the first half of the 18th century, bandeirantes came to this region looking for gold and emeralds. Existing documents do not tell us the exact date of the foundation of Planaltina, but it is believed to be 1790. According to oral tradition, the first name of the settlement was Mestre d'Armas because a blacksmith, an expert in weapons (armas), settled in the region.
