History

Inhumas was important as a stopping point on the Estrada Real linking the south with Goiás Velho. It had fertile soil and attracted many immigrants, especially Syrians and Lebanese, Italians, and Japanese. The Syrian-Lebanese were the first to open commercial establishments in the 1930s. There was also a small Japanese colony. At one time the region was a major producer of coffee. [1]
