History
Located in the Vale do Rio Jacuípe, very close to the Serra do Teixeira, the primitive village would have appeared in the beginning of the 19th century. It is known, however, that the territory came to belong to Porto Calvo until 1901. It was only after 1852, with the installation of the military colony, that it became a settlement. On January 5, 1860, the colony received Emperor Dom Pedro II. The passage of Dom Pedro consolidated the village and became a historical fact. When the military colony was extinguished, in 1867, Leopoldina continued under the jurisdiction of Porto Calvo and soon after went into decline. Law 372, of 1861, created the district of Leopoldina and another law, in 1901, elevated it to a village and then a municipality. This contributed to the former colony's progress again. In 1923, it became a city.

District created in 1889. Elevated to the category of municipality in 1901. In 1943, the municipality of Leopoldina changed its name to Colonia de Leopoldina. Emancipation: 07/16/1962
