The district was created with the denomination of Santa Maria da Boca do Monte, by provincial law number 6 of 1837, November 17,[3] thus, the district still belonged to the municipality of Cachoeira do Sul.

The bairros - neighbourhoods - of Sede created in 1986 endured up to 2006, when the city hall and the city council created the actual bairros of the district, and:

• It was created new bairros: Carolina, Divina Providência, Agroindustrial, Boi Morto, Renascença, Nova Santa Marta, São João, Campestre do Menino Deus, Menino Jesus, Bonfim, Nonoai, Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Diácono João Luiz Pozzobon, Lorenzi, Dom Antônio Reis, Duque de Caxias, Noal e Uglione.
• The bairro Cohab Camobi was extinguished and attached to bairro Camobi;
