History
Its history and people: It dates from 1915, the period that practically marked the beginning of the settlement of the place that would later become the municipality of Flexeiras. At that time, an existing farm in the place where today is the municipal seat, went through a phase of great development. The number of houses and population increased, even forming a small commerce that gained proportions as the urban agglomeration increased. In a short time, it presented itself with the characteristics of a peopled movement on the right bank of the Jitituba River. The primitive toponym was Frecheiras, due to the large number of trees in the region that planted arrows similar to those of sugar cane. It is not known why it was changed to Flexeiras.

In territorial divisions dating from 1936 and 1937, the district of Flexeiras appears in the municipality of São Luís do Quitunde. Elevated to the category of municipality in 1960. Emancipation: 04/28/1960
