The population of the town began with the arrival of Antônio Azevedo Maia, in the mid 1770s, who became the owner of a farm bought from 1st Sargent Alexandre Nunes Matos and named it Conceição Farm. Dismembered from Acari, in 1858, the people of Conceição became a town with the name of Jardim (Garden), because of the existence of a beautiful garden kept by the Captain Miguel Rodrigues Viana. In 1874, to differ from Jardim de Angicos, the town was named Jardim do Seridó. The population is of 9,297 inhabitants.
