History
The first settlement that led to the formation of the municipality of Confresa was called Vila Tapiraguaia, a fusion of the terms Tapirapé and Araguaia. This was a geographic reference to the Tapirapé and Araguaia Rivers, tributaries forming the Tocantins Basin. The term Confresa refers to the Colonizadora Frenova Sapeva. This company owned the Fazendas Reunidas Nova Amazônia, which included numerous agricultural properties and a distillery. The company is now called Frenova Agropecuária Ltda.{{Cite web |title=Confresa/MT - O maior município do Norte Araguaia comemora 27 anos de emancipação política e administrativa : |url=https://www.aguaboanews.com.br/noticias/exibir.asp?id=16688 |access-date=2024-06-24 |website=Agua Boa News |language=pt-br}}
Confresa was established as a district of Santa Terezinha on April 17, 1990.
