history
Jesuits settled here as early as 1645 , but the city's founder is the general captain of Maranhão André Vidal de Negreiro , who also administered Pará from 1655. His title was Capitão-General dos Estados do Maranhão e Pará. He dispatched Feliciano Corrêa (Capitão-Mor do Pará) to set up some cannons on a hill on the Ilha do Atalaia (Atalai island), which were supposed to warn passing boats of the reefs with signal shots. This pilotage function and the salt extraction were the basis for the city. The latter is also reflected in the place name. In 1656 some families were brought together here in a small town. Until the separation of Maranhão and Pará in 1774, Salinas was part of the captaincy ( Capitânia ) of Caeté.
The founding date is 1781, when the coastal saline area became a freguesia with the name Vila de Nossa Senhora do Socorro de Salinas .
On December 30, 1937, the city name was changed from Salinas to Salinópolis.
