Historic
The history of the city and the region is closely linked to flags and the discovery of gold. In 1719, the Pathfinder Pascoal Moreira Cabral, accidentally found this metal on the banks of the River Coxipó. So it was soon founded the Village fork and thousands of people went to the territory of Mato Grosso.
In 1751, another pioneer, Ignacio Maciel Tourinho, found gold in Ribeirão Cutia and founded a settlement known as Upstream. In 1861, it became a village called Up of Our Lady of the Rosary and Rio was spun off from Cuiabá. Part of the current territory of Noble belonged to the Town of Our Lady of the Rosary of the River Up, which later was renamed Rosario Oeste. As the allotment of Noble was a natural path for those who went to the north of the state, geralamente behind the diamonds found near the city of Diamantino, quickly became one parade Point drovers and travelers. Several incidents occurred in the region, among them fighting during the 1901 revolution, between separatist forces and other representing the government. Another historic event occurred in 1913, when an expedition of Cândido Rondon Marshal took nothing less than the US president, Theodore Roosevelt. Both spent the night on a farm in the Serra do Tombador.
In 1926, it was the turn of the Prestes Column, which, on the run, knocked down several bridges in the region. The municipality's creation occurred in 1963, but the first was not actually elected two years later.
