History
Until 1870, only the farm owned by the farmer Francisco Casado de Melo existed in the region, where the city hall is today. In 1877, the construction of the rail network took the workers' camp there. The location, for the technicians, could not have been better, because the entire region had waterholes, facilitating the work and life of the workers. After the railway and station works were completed, the camp was relocated. At that time there were already some houses and, to guarantee the village, a chapel was built in honor of São José, patron saint of the place. The pioneers in the formation of the village were João Francisco Soares, Manoel Coleta de Mello, Antonio Pinto Bandeira and Antonio Matias. In 1965, the president Castelo Branco suspended the traffic of the trains of the Railway Network, causing a great impact to the region. At that time, construction began on the AL-225, completed in 1974. A few years later, the AL-220 highway, which passed through Olho D'Água do Casado, changed the village's routine. The development was already great because there was communication between the regions. With progress came the movement for emancipation. Eliseu Maia, Adeval Tenório, Vítor Barbosa, José Pereira Leite and Pedro Gomes Pereira were the leaders. In 1962, Olho D'água do Casado became a municipality, through Law 2459.

District created with the name of Olhos D'Água do Casado ex-town, in 1949. Elevated to the category of municipality in 1962, dismembered from Piranhas. Emancipation: 09/21/1962

Olhos D'Água do Casado to Olho D'Água do Casado amended, by state law nº 2962, of 22-08-1962.
