At the end of the 19th century, Joaquim Pedro da Silva built the first residence on the region. With the time a village appeared, being named São João Batista do Marinheiro.
In 1926, the village was elevated to district of Tanabi, with the name of Vila Monteiro, and on November 30, 1944, the name changed to Igapira, being a district of the newly created city of Votuporanga.
