Vila Alegre was elevated to the 4th district of São Valentim by Decree No. 67 issued on 4 October 1963. The construction of the barrage started in 1966, attracting several workers and civil servants to the town.
The municipality of Entre Rios do Sul, named for its location between two rivers ("entre dos rios"), here Passo Fundo and Erechim, was established by State Law No. 8,614 promulgated on 9 May 1988.
