History


In early 1902, Captain Amador José Monteiro of the Brazilian National Guard presented a manifesto to the Municipal Council of the municipality Correntes. The council gathered on February 9, 1902, and authorized the first fair of the village. The council also approved of the town's name of Igatauá during this meeting. On December 9, 1938, the name was changed to Lagoa do Ouro due to an urban legend that arose in the village, where nuggets or gold bars were believed to be in a local pond belonging to the estate of João Alves da Silva, who became known as John Gold.[3]
