History

Bernardo de Brito, a Brazilian nobleman, came to present-day Igaporã in the 19th century. He settled in Pedra do Santo Antonio, and built a farmhouse. The settlement was elevated to village status in 1884 under the name Bonito, and was part of Caetité. It was elevated to district level on January 1, 1944 under the name of Igaporã. Igaporã was separated from Caetité in 1954, but the geographic division was declared unconstitutional in 1958, and Igaporã again became a district of Caetité. It was fully separated from Caetité on September 1, 1960, and the municipality dates it foundation to 1960. Igaporã became known for its "strong and fierce political disputes."
