He reserved an area of 31,460 ha to found Vila de Guairacá.
The first settlers came in the the 1940s from Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Nordeste. On 2 January 1947, they erected a calvary in front of the chapel dedicated to St. Lucia. On 5 October 1949, the settlement was renamed to Vila de Cafeara, as a tribute to the increasing coffee groves, and incorporated into the municipality of Lupionópolis.
