The economy
Once a poor area dependent on subsistence farming and extensive but poorly managed cattle raising, the municipality concentrates the base of its economy on agriculture, which is now one of the most dynamic in the state. With a large number of farmers from the south of the country, especially Rio Grande do Sul, agriculture is characterized by use of technology for planting and preparation of the soil, which has given it a high productivity. There is great production of irrigated corn (8,300 hectares), soybeans (32,000 hectares), beans, sorghum, and even wheat.

History
Cabeceiras began in 1942 with the construction of a house by Antônio Ribeiro de Andrade, nicknamed "o Bahiano", who in turn built a chapel honoring Santa Rosa de Lima, along the banks of a stream called Taboquinha. New families arrived and the name of Cabeceiras was given due to its location near the source (cabeceiras) of the stream. In 1952 the village (povoado) was elevated to the status of district (distrito). In 1958 it was dismembered from the municipality of Formosa.[4]
