The history of Ipiranga de Goiás is connected to the decree of 1941 creating the agricultural colony called Colonia Agrícola Nacional de Goiás, administered by the engineer Bernardo Sayão. In 1949 the dentist Raimundo Alves de Souza arrived with his family and fought to make a city out of Ipiranga. In 1956 he acquired lands and divided them into lots to attract settlers. Ipiranga became a district of Ceres in 1968 and became a municipality in 1998. See Ipiranga de GoiásArchived 2008-02-24 at the Wayback Machine for the history.
