Areiópolis was founded in 1893, when Joaquim Ignácio de Oliveira Gois
and his brother in law Antônio Gonçalves da Silva offered a piece of
land located on the left bank of river Areia Branca (White Sand)
around the chapel of the Holy Cross. The newly established settlement,
named Vila de Areia Branca, was renamed Areiópolis in 1906. The
district of Areiópolis, part of the municipality of São Manuel, was
established by State Law No. 1,569 of 3 December 1917.
The municipality of Areiópolis was established by State Law No. 5,285
of 18 February 1959 and inaugurated on 1 January 1960.
