Municipality
The municipality of Jaguari (11,551 inhabitants in 2016; 67,345 ha) is located
400 km north-west of Porto Alegre. The municipality is composed of the districts
of Jaguari (seat), Santo Izidro, Ijucapirama and Taquarichin.
Jaguari
originates in the S�o Jos� Jesuit reduction, established in 1632 by Fathers
Romero, Superior of the Uruguai reductions, Manuel Bertot, Luiz Ernot, Cristov�o
de Mendonza and Paulo Benevides. Reported as the most prosperous mission in the
area, S�o Jos� was threatened by jaguars, diseases, hunger and pioneer's raids;
accordingly, the mission was transferred in 1638 on the right bank of Uruguai,
facing the town of S�o Borja.
A colony was established on the site on 29
April 1871, then part of the district of S�o Vicente, municipality of S�o
Gabriel. The colonial nucleus of Jaguari was inaugurated in 1880, its urban
planning being supervised by the land surveyor Jos� Manuel de Siqueira Couto.
The district of Jaguari was established by a Municipal Act issued on 15 February
1893, as part of the municipality of S�o Vicente do Sul. The municipality of
Jaguari was established on 16 August 1920.
