José Antônio de Oliveira Preto (Zé Meano) is considered the founder of Pedra Bela, having erected the cross on February 24, 1869, and collaborated in the construction of the Santa Cruz Chapel. The original settlement was called Santa Cruz do Feital. In 1929 it became a District of Peace of Pedra Grande, and in 1944 the name was changed to Pedra Bela. Emancipation occurred in January 1964.
