Sangão was established as the district of 24 de Outobro by State Decree No. 531 issued on 2 March 1934, separating from the district of Jaguaruna, and inaugurated on 2 April 1934. It was renamed to Sangão by State Law No. 86 promulgated on 31 March 1938.
The municipality of Sangão was established by State Law No. 8,552 promulgated on 30 March 1992, separating from Jaguaruna.

Sangão is still known locally under the name of Rua do Fogo (Fire Road). In the past, tropeiros used to spend the night in a pottery workshop where they lit a fire, so that their meeting point was soon known as Fire Road.
