History
The first inhabitants of the region were the indigenous Kariri, of Tapuia origin. They were a strong and warlike people who became notable in colonial history for their resistance to the advance of the Portuguese.
The lands located at the foothills of the Chapada do Araripe were inhabited by the Kariri Gauariú.
Abaiara, as an urban nucleus, emerged in the 19th century, when two farmers, José Leite da Cunha and José Júlio Sampaio, settled in the area with cattle ranches.
