In 1770 Arriaga Manoel de Oliveira, accompanied by his wife and six children, founded the Colony of Campo Vermelho near the current city. They were attacked by a tribe of Indians who inhabited the region and during the attack one of his sons was killed. Manoel Arriaga, very saddened by the fact, turned away from the colony and settled on the banks of the Milho Branco stream where he set up a farm which in time became the city.<ref name="FERREIRA, Jurandir Pires 1957">Driven by: FERREIRA, Jurandir Pires. Text by: PEREIRA, Maria Auxiliadora Peres; & DIAS, Miguel. Enciclopédia dos Municípios Brasileiros. Rio de Janeiro: IBGE, 1957.</ref>
The farm was named "Fazenda Bom Jardim," the origin of the town name, due to a beautiful and well maintained [[garden]] that was in front of the farm, garden with flowers of this variety and exquisite beauty. Near this small farm houses began to emerge and thus formed the parish's "Good Garden", because this time the Portuguese were also coming to explore gold in the Rio Grande.


Years later, Manoel Arriaga was visited by the illustrious Captain Antonio Correia de Lacerda and his family. He joined with Manoel Arriaga in expanding the farm and beginning the cultivation of land on a large scale.<ref name="FERREIRA, Jurandir Pires 1957"/>
When Manoel Arriaga and his compatrício, Antonio Correa de Lacerda, seeing the development of the Parish of Bom Jardim de Minas, decided to make a small chapel in the yard of the Good Farm Garden, where they practiced prayers, rosaries and novenas. When you finish the chapel in 1770 (date printed on the altar of the old matrix). Antonio Correa de Lacerda asked his partner to place as patron of the parish "Good Jesus of Matozinhos" because this was already devoted Holy because there inherited from his father, João Marques Batista, who brought Portugal a small picture of Bom Jesus of Matozinhos. Arriaga's request promptly answered compatrício thus was introduced in the chapel. This was the first image of "Lord Jesus Christ" venerated for many years in the small chapel in the yard of Finance Bom Jardim de Minas.


At the request of Captain Lacerda the chapel of Bom Jardim, today the old parish church, was erected in the village centre.<ref name="FERREIRA, Jurandir Pires 1957"/>
Then they sent sculpting in 1781, the official image, which is that we worship today in the Catholic Church. According to an official historian and restorer of São João del Rei, it was carved from red cedar, covered with sheepskin and mass emassado with top quality. The artist who carved erred in doing so, made with four nails. The correct in all images of the Crucified Christ is with three nails: A right hand, a left hand and a foot, overlapping the other.


Some years later, with the union of families Arriaga and Lacerda, the farm received the name "Fazenda do Bom Jardim". The origin of the name was due to a well maintained garden near the farmhouse.

Both did not exist in the Matrix, or given that there had been a litter suitable for the image, and since then serving vai was made on this occasion by Belizário Ribeiro de Carvalho ".
