Until around the year 1000, the region currently occupied by the municipality of Piaçabuçu was inhabited by Indians from the Macro-Jê linguistic branch. At that time, the region was invaded by Tupi peoples from the Amazon, who expelled the original inhabitants to the interior of the continent.
In the 16th century, when the first European navigators arrived in the region, it was inhabited by the Tupi nation of the Caetés, who, in that same century, would be enslaved by Portuguese colonizers.[6] Created as a parish in 1859, Piaçabuçu was elevated to town and municipality in 1882, having been dismembered from Penedo.
Piaçabuçu was visited in 1859 by the Brazilian emperor Dom Pedro II, who even participated in festivities in the city before continuing his trip to other cities.
As early as 1834, rice cultivation began in Alagoas, in the São Francisco river valley, and, after the Independence of Brazil (1822), rice cultivation gained strength in the lands of the lower São Francisco region, among others, quickly enriching cities like Piaçabuçu, Penedo, New Church. To date, Piaçabuçu is the second largest rice producer in Alagoas.
Piaçabuçu is located in the south of the state of Alagoas, on the border with the state of Sergipe, and is characterized by its calm waters and fine, dark sand. Of note are the extensive dune formations found throughout the beach, especially at the mouth of the São Francisco River. Access is via Pontal do Peba Beach or by boat from the city of Piaçabuçu. It is known for being one of the most important nesting sites for the sea turtles that inhabit the Brazilian coasts and that are protected by the country's laws.
