The events of a place, a people or a city will only become history if they remain alive in the
memory of those who participated in them. From these memories are images that can be
translated and transformed into stories and documents. This work was built with the intention
of keeping alive a little of the history of Tocantinópolis through the materialization of the
memories of some scenarios and events that were modifying the landscape of this city from its
urban development. The data collected here were collected through informal conversations
with former residents and to understand more about the history of the city, support was sought
in the writings of some authors who wrote and wrote about Tocantinópolis, such as:
CORREIA (1977), SOUSA (2008), PEREIRA (2012), PEREIRA (2007), among
others. Searching and writing about the history of this bicentennial city was more than an
exercise, brought the uneasiness that it is necessary to give voice to the images of the
memories of former residents in order to rebuild the little of the cultural patrimony that still
exists, so that the new generations know and value.
