history

The local historian Anfilofio de Castro derives the name from Boritiba, a palm species that used to be common there, also known as buritizeiro, muriti or muruti, to Moritiba and to Muritiba.

Milestones in history are the first claims to the area (Arraial) around 1571 and 1575, in 1705 the church district Freguesia São Pedro do Monte da Muritiba was founded, in the 19th century it was under the municipality of Cachoeira, until the city of São Félix was spun off from this in 1889 the place Muritiba belonged to the local district of São Félix. On August 8, 1919 Muritiba received the status of a vila, but was not emancipated as a city until August 3, 1922. On April 19, 1936, an elected city council (Câmara de Vereadores) came into force for the first time. At the time, Muritiba, which was still significantly larger in area, lost territory to the newly founded city Governador Mangabeira in 1962 and to the newly founded Cabaceiras do Paraguaçu in 1989 .

The city's motto “Smells of smoke” is an allusion to tobacco production as the city's most important agricultural product.
