Municipality
The municipality of Santa B�rbara do Sul (8,829 inhabitants in 2010; 97,115
ha) is located 350 km north-west of Porto Alegre.
Santa B�rbara do Sul
emerged along the old trail used by tropeiros to convey cattle to the Sorocaba
fairs. In 1820, Atanagildo Pinto Martins was granted a concession to establish
Fazenda Santa B�rbara. The inauguration of the railway line in 1897 boosted the
development of the town.
In the 1950s, a group of farmers from Caxia do Sul,
supported by official grants, initiated wheat cropping in the municipality,
which soon ranked 5th among the wheat producers nationwide.
Santa B�rbara was
renamed to Blau Nunes by Decree Law No. 270 issued in 1944, to be renamed to
Santa B�rbara do Sul by Decree Law No. 39 issued on 4 September 1948. The
municipality of Santa B�rbara do Sul was established by State Law No. 3,703
promulgated on 31 January 1959.
