The city was named in honor of José Inácio de Abreu e Lima (1794-1869), also known as "Inácio Pernambucano".[5] Abreu e Lima participated in battles in Pernambuco and fought alongside Simón Bolivar in the wars of independence of Venezuela and Colombia.[2]

Folklore is one of Abreu e Lima's main attractions. Visitors can enjoy the energetic drum rhythms of Maracatu dance performance, as well as Ciranda dance groups such as the one led by Dona Odete do Coco.
