The Village of the Peroibe Indians already existed before the arrival of Martin Alfonso de Souza. Its main Chief was known for Piriri Goa Ob Yg and the Village was placed in the Tapiarama (Tapui-Rama), region of the Villages or Native land of the Tapuias. They were the two only Villages of the Coast.
The first notice, date of 1532, when Pero Correa asks for to the confirmation of its lands the Martin Alfonso de Souza, saying already to be it has much time in the lands that before belonged to a Cosme Master, Bachelor of Cananeia and donated these lands in 1553 to the Company of Jesus, for I unload of conscience, due to the operating slavery in beaches of the Guarau. It donated, also, the Farm in the Beach of Peruibe, for fellowship of the Boy Jesus, who started to be As the College of Boys Orphans of the Boy Jesus. The First College was in SãoVicente. Peruibe belonged to the Captainship of Martin Alfonso de Souza, for meeting it 12 leagues to the South of São Vicente.
Already it exists, in a place the dedicated Chapel to the Concepcion of Our Lady, when in 1549, Priest Leonardo Nunes together with other priests arrived to make catechesis of the aboriginals. The Priest Leonardo Nunes passed to be known by the aboriginals for “Abarebebe” (Priest Saint or Flying Priest) for being in some places at the same time.
In 1554, he arrives in the Village Jose de Anchieta, 19 year-old novice, recently accepted in the Company of Jesus, the aid to catechesis. After have done its work in the Captainship of São Vicente, was to the Bahia as provincial and in 1584, he wrote:

Having notice that the Convent of Itanhaém alone started its construction in 1640, and its adorer was San Francisco de Assis, as note of Azevedo Marques and its First Church, date of 1761 and its Patroness of Santa Ana, as Benedict Calixto, does not remain doubts on the veracity of the historical facts of that the foundation of the Village of the Our Lady of the Conception, occurred in current the Ruins of the Abarebebe, as the affirmation of Frey Caspar - the Company of Mother of God, who says in its workmanship (Captainship of São Vicente), that up to 1555, nothing in the called place Itanhaém did not exist and only Villages, where Martin Alfonso de Souza made its foundation. The Village lost the Forum of Village, yielding to the Portuguese who inhabited in Itanhaém, for being the Jesuits protecting beside the point the aboriginals and in century XVII, in middle of 1648 had been expulses. The Village passes to be known as Village of Saint John Baptist, from 1640.
The Village was abandoned, the aboriginals had been obliged to take the Alfaias, Candlesticks and Images for the Convent of Itanhaém, but had the devotion for the Image of Our Lady of the Conception, had hidden and they had delivered alone it to the Brotherhood of São Vicente. Other histories had been told by diverse historians, always with intention to erase of the memory the facts truly occurred. Itanhaém almost passed the head of Captainship per 150 years, had to the progress of Piratininga (São Paulo), depopulating almost total the coast also the old captainship of São Vicente and, in abandonment state, the Village later, for insistence of the inhabitants, was if becoming a fishing town.
However, as Clientele, however as Quarter, until as Village without ever having preached for this, the abandonment was total, but in the antique maps and until the passed Century, the representative symbol of the old church of Peruibe is noticed.
In 1852, it received its first “Educational Chair,” for the masculine sex and in 1871, for the feminine sex, its population was always bigger of what of Itanhaém however the census, only informed the total of the population between the neighboring cities, that belonged to the city of Itanhaém.
In the year of 1914, it comes the Railroad and it the first immigrants. In the decade of 50, the Town sees to increase the real estate activity, starting to receive new encourager in the commerce.
In an untiring work of then the Councilman of Itanhaém, Dr. Geraldo Russomano, provokes the accomplishment of a plebiscite, to define on the process of definitive emancipation of Peruibe, being freed its past. In addition, was as soon as in 18 of February of 1959, the Village that if became Town was taken to the category of City and in the day 1§ of January of 1960, had its nesting.
In 22 of June of 1974, through State Law, Peruibe starts to be recognized as Balneal Ranch, given to its natural peculiarities. Currently, Peruibe meets in development sufficiently organized, therefore its Managing Plan and Code of Workmanships, is most elaborated of the region, what it has guaranteed the excellent result in the urbanization process.
It is of this form that Peruibe is integrated to the State, also as one of the cities that more developed in the country.
Today, through Agreement firmed with the support of the CONDEPHAAT, between Peruibe and the University of São Paulo/Museum of Archeology and Ethnology - USP/MAE, this being carried through one searches archaeological, that already meets in final phase. The Archaeological Small farm “Ruins of the Abarebebe”, that is tumbled by CONDEPHAAT and IBPC, as well as for the City, through its Municipal Organic Law, comes to prove the care and the affection that some patrons come fighting to preserve the cradle of the first Brazilians and the supreme glory of the Jesuits in our beloved and perpetual Tapiarama.
Thus, it is that we tell a principle of the history of Peruibe, everything as consultations for the documents that register the facts that had in the times of the Discovery of Brazil.
