Cacaulândia has its origins in a Northwest Brazil Integrated Development Program (Polonoroeste) project to support farmers in the region through a Núcleo Urbano de Apoio Rural (NUAR: Urban Center of Rural Support).
It was named Cacaulândia because it was a large cocoa producing region.
40 hectares (99 acres) of land were donated for the NUAR from lots at the intersection of TB-65 with Line C-15.
The region was split off from the municipality of Ariquemes on 13 February 1992, and became a separate municipality and district named Cacaulândia.
As of 2007 it remained a municipality with one district.[7]
