History
Novo Gama first appeared in 1974, with the housing development called Parque Estrela D'Alva VI. The population increased due to the great migratory influx, mainly from the Northeast and Goiás. Because of the rocky soil the place was popularly known as Pedregal. The region was then part of the municipality of Luziânia.
The project of the creation of Núcleo Habitacional Novo Gama arose from popular movements associated with the famous open-air market of Pedregal. The Núcleo Habitacional Novo Gama was created in t1980, by a real estate group called Economisa. With the fast population growth Luziânia recognized the necessity of dividing the space in administrative districts, and the place was called Região Administrativa de Novo Gama. In 1995 it became independent of Luziânia.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”

“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
