History
Settlement began in 1946 on lands belonging to the municipality of Iporá. A local rancher, Edmundo Benuto Dias donated land for a new settlement, which was called "Aropi", the inversion of the name "Iporá". In 1954 it was elevated to the category of district with the new name of Mendelândia, after Antônio Mendes, one of the pioneers of the region. In 1955 the name was changed to Diorama, of unknown origin. In 1958 it became a municipality.
