Administrative Training
The district of Santo Antônio do Jacinto, formerly the village of Santo Antônio, was created by Law No. 336, of December 27, 1948, subordinate to the municipality of Jacinto. In 1950 and 1960, it continued to appear as a district of that municipality. Subsequently, it was elevated to the category of municipality by State Law No. 2,764, of December 30, 1962, being installed on March 1, 1963, with its seat in the former district of the same name and consisting of a single district. This configuration remained until 1982, when State Law No. 8,285, of October 8, 1982, created the district of Catajás, annexed to the municipality. Since then, according to the territorial division of 1983, Santo Antônio do Jacinto has been composed of two districts: the main district and Catajás, a structure that remained in effect at least until 2007.[3]
