Tupi-Sprache
Discovered by the Portuguese in 1770 and founded in 1810, the city name derives from the Língua Geral of São Paulo "agûarápuaba", meaning "place of Maned wolves sound" (gûará, Maned wolf + pu, sound/noise + aba, place). The city has the commemorative date of the anniversary date of December 9, due to the onset of colonization between Rio Coutinho and the Rio Jordão in the parish of Our Lady of Bethlehem in 1819, with the demarcation of village and church.
