Etymology
The name for Vicente Pires is largely believed to have originated from Vicente Pires da Mota, who owned the Vicente Pires Agricultural Colony.{{Cite web |date=27 January 2020 |title=Alguém sabe quem é ou quem foi Vicente Pires? |url=https://sosbrasilia.com.br/opiniao/alguem-sabe-quem-e-ou-quem-foi-vicente-pires/ |access-date=2023-05-27}} The official origin for the name of the colony is from a stream in the region.{{Cite web |date=2019 |title=Vicente-Pires.pdf |url=https://www.ipe.df.gov.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Vicente-Pires.pdf |access-date=2023-05-27 |website=IPEDF}}
History
The future lands of Vicente Pires were previously inhabited by Indians, and in the 70s by farmers. In 1989, the then Governor José Aparecido, decided to centralize the process of expanding the rural production area of the Águas Claras Agricultural Colony to the Agricultural Colonies of Vicente Pires, Samambaia and São José. Through an agreement intermediated by the GDF and carried out by means of the Zoobotanic Foundation, a land use contract for agricultural production was made with about 360 farmers, with a term of use stipulated in 30 years.{{Cite web |title=Conheça a RA – Administração Regional de Vicente Pires |url=https://www.vicentepires.df.gov.br/category/sobre-a-ra/conheca-a-ra/ |access-date=2023-04-11 |language=pt-BR}}
Vicente Pires was founded on May 26, 1989, receiving the status of administrative region, according to Law 4327, of May 26, 2009. Was dismembered from Taguatinga and started to have its own administration. This occurred 20 years after the first farms in the former agricultural colony were established.{{Cite web |date=20 May 2015 |title=Vicente Pires completa 6 anos |url=https://www.agenciabrasilia.df.gov.br/2015/05/20/vicente-pires-completa-6-anos/ |access-date=2022-12-19 |website=Agência Brasília |language=pt-br}} Vicente Pires then comes to comprise the Vicente Pires Housing Sector, Samambaia Housing Sector, São José Housing Sector and Cana-do-Reino Housing Sector.{{Cite web |date=23 April 2009 |title=Vicente Pires é a nova Região Administrativa do DF |url=https://www.cl.df.gov.br/-/vicente-pires-e-a-nova-regiao-administrativa-do-df |access-date=19 December 2022 |website=Câmara Legislativa Distrito Federal|language=pt-br}}

In May 2010, the Regional Administration of Vicente Pires held a contest among the public and private schools of the administrative region with students from 1st to 9th grade of elementary school to choose their civic symbols (flag, anthem and coat of arms). The name of the winners and their respective symbols can be found in the Diário Oficial do Distrito Federal (section 01-171 3 September 2010).{{Cite web |title=Historia de Vicente Pires DF – Ache Tudo e Região |url=https://www.achetudoeregiao.com.br/df/vicente_pires/historia.htm |access-date=2023-04-11 |website=www.achetudoeregiao.com.br}}
