Ourizona was established by Nicolau Nasser
on Gleba Condor, a vast domain owned by Companhia de Terras Melhoramentos Norte
do Paraná. Nasser planted 150,000 coffee trees and named the place Ourizona,
Gold Land, as a reference to the nickname of coffee, Green Gold.

25 July 1960, separating from Mandaguaçu, and inaugurated on 19 November 1961.
