History
The historical records of the municipality of Campestre are linked to the municipality of Jundiá, from which the village was dismembered. The name of the village originated from the green fields existing in the mid-18th century between the hills that surrounded the entire region, at first with few houses. With the construction of the road to Palmares, in the state of Pernambuco, Campestre began to develop. The village was established with the installation of the industrial activities of Usina Santa Therezinha, currently deactivated, and the open market, considered the largest in the region, progressively surpassing the seat of the municipality. In the administration of José Ribeiro Caminha, in Jundiá, the process of expropriation of land took place, facilitating urban growth, Domingos Barreto da Silva and Antonio Sijames Granja were also part of the evolution of the village.
