history
The place was founded as a colony by Italian immigrants and was originally called Alto Benevente . As early as 1817 there were fatal incidents with the Botokuden , the local ethnic group. Another attack in 1878, triggered by the expansion of the settlement area, caused Emperor Dom Pedro II to send his colonization minister, engineer Alfredo Rodrigues Fernandes Chaves , to the area for pacification and protection. In his honor, the place was initially named Vila de Alfredo Chaves , then Município de Alfredo Chaves when it received city rights .
economy
Livestock is the most important branch of the economy, especially dairy cows and chickens are raised. Coffee and banana plantations also play an important role.
