Municipality

The municipality of Esperan�a do Sul (3,272 inhabitants in 201; 14,838 ha) is located 500 km of Porto Alegre.

Esperan�a do Sul is named for an historical event that took place on 6 January 1925. Heading to Vila de Alto Uruguay, the leaders of the Prestes Column, a social rebel movement led by Captain Luiz Carlos Prestes (1898-1990), passed through the village. The rumor spread among colonists that the revolutionary and governmental forces would peacefully meet there, so the place was called Esperan�a (Hope). Nothing happened, though, since the Prestes Column's vanguard and rearguard stayed in Tris Passos and moved to Paris, using another road.
The municipality of Esperan�a do Sul was established in 1997.
