The colonization of the area began in the 1930s, when the state government allocated 50,000 hectares between the Brilhante and Panambi rivers for the formation of the Dourados municipal colony, the origin of the settlement. The municipality was created by state law No. 659 of December 10, 1953, separated from Dourados. The municipal economy is based on agriculture and livestock — with soybeans and maize standing out — and on fish farming, an activity that earned the town the nickname "Cidade do Peixe" (City of Fish).
