Origins

The origin of the municipality of Santa Cruz das Palmeiras is linked to the settlement started in 1870, when Manuel Valério do Sacramento provided the construction of a small chapel (on 03/05/1876) in honor of Santa Cruz.

The village formed around the chapel came to be called Santa Cruz dos Valérios and progressed with the construction of many houses.

The donation of land for a farm named Palmeiras, proposed by the Countess Maria Eugenia Monteiro de Barros, then owner of part of the farm, boosted the appearance of the city, with the addition of the two names: Santa Cruz das Palmeiras.

The date May 3 is the anniversary of the city.
