In 2004, the three sucos Bairo Central , Bairo dos Grilos ( Bairo dos Grilhos ) and Bairo Formosa were combined to form Suco Gricenfor . The Sucos Bidau Santana and Meti Aut were added to the administrative office of Cristo Rei, but the Sucos Acadiru Hun ( Akadiru-Hun ) and Bemori came from Cristo Rei to Nain Feto. The Sucos Lahane Oriental and Santa Cruz moved from the Vera Cruz administrative office to Nain Feto. So today Nain Feto is divided into six sucos : Acadiru Hun, Bemori, Bidau Lecidere , Gricenfor, Lahane Oriental and Santa Cruz.
