Geography

edit

Saudade do Iguaçu is in the state of Paraná, Brazil.[2] It has an area of 152.085 square kilometres (58.720 sq mi) as of 2018.[1] The elevation above sea level is about 618 metres (2,028 ft).[2]

It is named for a falls on the Iguazu River, a tributary of the Paraná River and the largest river in the state of Paraná, formed by the meeting of the Iraí and Atuba rivers in the eastern part of the Paraná municipality of Curitiba along its border with the municipalities of Pinhais and São José dos Pinhais. The Iguazu runs from east to west, with some parts serving as a natural border between Paraná and Santa Catarina. In one part of its lower course it forms the border between Brazil and Argentina's Misiones Province.[4] The Salto Santiago Hydroelectric Power Plant on the Iguazu is in Saudade do Iguaçu.[4]

History

edit

In 1954, the Companhia Brasileira de Viação e Comércio (BRAVIACO) opened a road up to the small plateau that the present Saudade do Iguaçu occupies. A pioneer opened a farm there in 1955, and other settlers from Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina followed. At first they planted beans and corn and raised pigs for their own consumption.[4] The district of Saudade was created by state law nº 8, of 06-08-1973, part of the municipality of Chopinzinho. State law nº 9914 of 19 March 1992 raised the district to the category of a municipality with the name Saudade do Iguaçu.[4]
