History
The abundance of reeds - widely used by residents in the manufacture of household items such as; mats, mattresses and others- on the banks of the lake where the first population cluster was formed, directly giving rise to the name of the municipality. The exploitation grew and those who passed towards the lagoon commented: "let's go to the junkyard", referring to the place where they extract the junk. The municipality, formerly inhabited by Limoeiro de Anadia, was created by Law 379 of June 15, 1903 and installed on January 31, 1904.
