===History===
The town appeared in 1964 in the territory of the municipality of [[Paraúna]]. It was created through the initiative of Benedicto Arystogogo de Mello, who had already founded the settlements of Riverlândia, in [[Rio Verde, Goiás | Rio Verde]], and Vila Brasil, in [[Santa Helena de Goiás]].
Mello negotiated with a large landowner of the region to begin selling the lots. The lands were on the banks of the Rio Verdão and near the Brasília – Acre highway, which was under construction at the time.
'''Origin of the name'''
The name of the town, Acreúna, comes from a combination of Acre, final destination of the highway which crosses the town, and Una, a tribute to Paraúna, the municipality where it had been located before becoming a separate municipality.
It became a district in 1968 and, thanks to its rapid population growth and economic development, it separated from Paraúna in 1976 to become an independent municipality.
