History

Local Attractions: São Sebastião Chapel
The history of the name “Inhoaíba” has two versions. Many years ago, the region was known by the natives as “nhu-ahyba” (inhoaíba), which means “bad field” in the indigenous language.
The other version comes down from the colonial period. At the time, the Portuguese saw that these fields were not so bad and built large mills and farms there, where they mainly produced coffee and oranges.
With the success of the cultivation, the travelers who passed through the locality asked the slaves whose lands they were. The slaves, who called their masters “Sinhô” - more often in its reduced form “Nhô” - responded as follows: “These lands belong to Nhô Aíba”, because the name of the landowner was “Aníbal” and, in the way of talking about them, ended up being pronounced “Aíba”. Thus, transformed by the speech of the people the name “Inhoaíba” emerged quite organically.
It was opened with the name “Engenheiro Trindade Station”, paying homage to an important railway engineer of the time. Years later, due to the old name of the place, it was renamed “Inhoaíba Station”.
