History

The origin of Santa Rita do Araguaia, located on the right bank of the Rio Araguaia, opposite the city of Alto Araguaia in Mato Grosso, was the Araguaia ranch, bought in 1854 by José Manoel Vilela. He reserved a large area for a settlement called Santa Rita dos Impossíveis. Later the name was changed to Santa Rita do Araguaia. In 1911 it became a district in the municipality of Mineiros.
