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.
