The municipality of Cotipor� (3,853 inhabitants in 2019; 17,238 ha) is
located 160 km of Porto Alegre and 35 km of Bento Gon�alves.
Cotipor� was
established in 1892 by Venetian immigrants, as Monte V�neto. Brazil's first
dairy cooperative, Cooperative Trabalho e Progresso, was established in Monte
V�neto. Brazil's "father of refrigerated meal industry", A Sul Americana, was
also established in Monte V�neto.
The town was renamed in 1939 to Cotipor�, a
Tupi-Guarani word meaning "a good place". The municipality of Cotipor� was
established by State Law No. 7,652 promulgated on 12 May 1982, separating from
Veran�polis, and inaugurated on 1 January 1983.
