history
The settlement was created during the construction of the BR-153 north-south motorway , which opened in 1959. The area belonged to the state of Goiás. On October 23, 1963, the municipality was founded by decree "Lei Estadual n ° 4.1716" under the name Paraíso do Norte with a spin-off from the municipality of Pium , to which it was previously under. At the time, the place had about 1500 inhabitants, which was enough for the popular vote in Brazil, the construction of a town hall and elections for city councilors and mayors.
The state of Tocantins was founded and it was split off from Goiás in 1988 and on January 1, 1989 the place was renamed Paraíso do Tocantins , which expressed the new affiliation.
