A parish of Fregueisa de São João Batista de Água Fria was created by royal decree of April 11, 1718, and the core settlement as Vila de São João Batista de Água Fria by royal order of April 28, 1727 . In the time of the province of Bahia the status of Vila was abolished and the area of the Vila de Purificação de Campos was added, today the city of Irará, where it became a district. On July 13, 1962, Água Fria was spun off from Irará and raised to an independent Munizip.
Since 2017 it forms the Região geográfica imediata Feira de Santana with 32 other cities . The town of Feira de Santana is around 73 km away.
