The first settlement in the municipality was located on the Tartarugal Grande River, however the rapids made transport difficult, and the town was moved to a tributary. That town has become known as Tartarugalzinho.

The economy is based on raising livestock, primarily cattle and buffalo, subsistence farming and fishing. The discovery of gold in the area has caused a population surge. A major industry in the municipality is the Champion factory which turns eucalyptus seeds into pulp for the paper industry.
