Other names: S. José dos Cocais

The Freguesia de Nossa Senhora do Livramento had existed since August 1835 and belonged to the Vila de Cuiabá, which was located 40 kilometres to the north-east. In May 1883 it was elevated to the status of a Vila. In December 1943, the município changed its name to São José dos Cocais, but in October 1948 the name N. Sra. do Livramento returned.

As reported in the Rio de Janeiro press, it was decided in November 1882 to set up a local post office.
