The name of the region dates to the time of Marechal Cândido Rondon, who noticed a large amount of native cocao there near the bank of the Ji-Paraná River (Machado River). He recommended that the guard Anízio Serrão build a house there, and Serrao requested the site to be granted to him in 1912, calling it Cacoal. The village of Cacoal emerged in the 1960s, when the BR-364 highway began to be opened. In 1960, the rubber tapper and gold miner José Cassimiro Lopes built a shack on the left side of the highway, where he remained until the early 1970s. More information...
