Santana de Boa Vista was founded in 1822 by Jacinto Inácio
da Silva (1772-1841). Severely injured in 1821 by a jaguar during a hunting
party, he invoked Our Lady of St. Ann; after having eventually killed the beast
with a knife, he erected a chapel as a reward for the divine help.
The
municipality of Santana de Boa Vista was established on 17 September 1965 and
inaugurated on 6 May 1966.
