The highest sustained growth occurred between 1950 and 1960, when the increase of the total population reached 83% in a decade.
It is believed that this fact was due to the emergence and subsequent expansion of industrial activities in the city, from the installation of a number of projects awarded funds SUDENE, which probably increased the immigration from neighboring cities to Montes Claros.
