In the past the locality was called Porto das Jangadas (lit. "Jangadas Port") and then Praia do Peixe (lit. "Fish Beach"), now Praia de Iracema. Until 1947, it was the port area of Fortaleza, with loading and unloading of goods and people through the Ponte Metálica (lit. "Metallic Bridge"), deactivated after the construction of the Port of Mucuripe. Today it is a bohemian neighborhood of the city.
