The European history of this town began in 1952 when the surveyors Pedro Leite da Silva, Mozart de Andrade Mota, and Edgar de Alencar Mota set up camp near the confluence of the Barreirinho and Fogueira rivers, to survey the land for an agricultural colony called "Barreirinho e São João". Mota bought land and created lots to build a settlement. In 1954 the first hut was built and soon other settlers arrived form the state of Minas Gerais. The first name was "Barreirinho". In 1956 working together the settlers opened a road to Nova América so they could get their agricultural products to market. In 1958 Barreirinho became a district in the municipality of Goiás, the name changing to Mozarlândia, in homage to Mozart Andrade Mota who had distributed land to settlers and ranchers who wanted to stay in the area. Mota was mayor for two terms and in his administrations he carried out important works, like the building of the city hall, the public jail, and two plazas. He donated land to schools, churches, the city hall, the aerodrome, and the cemetery. He brought electricity and built the first schools. He died in 1993 remembered by his fellow citizens in the name of the town where he lived.
In January 2005 the Mayor was João Soares de Oliveira and the Vice-mayor was Mailton de Oliveira Souza. The city council had 9 members and there were 10,258 eligible voters in 2007.
