The municipality of Uniflor (2,614 inhabitants in 2020; 9,482 ha) is located
430 km north-west of Curitiba.
Uniflor was established in 1945 by
Companhia Melhoramentos Norte do Paraná during the exploration of "Newest
North". Through the newly established English Roads, the engineer reached a
place located 10 km north of Capelinha (today, Nova Esperança), suitable to
establish the new settlement of Uniflor.
On 5 October 1950, Mário Mandadori,
a farmer from Marialva hired by Antonio Cãndido, Uniflor's first landowner, to
establish a coffee plantation. At the end of the year, Alício Arantes
established a collective transport system between Uniflor and Capelinha.
The
municipality of Uniflor was established by State Law No. 4,338 promulgated on 25
January 1961.
Uniflor ("single flower") was named by the engineers of
Companhia Melhoramentos Norte do Paraná after a drought period had reduced
vegetation to a single flower. Accordingly, they named the river and the
settlement to Uniflor. There is, however, no written source backing up this
etymology, which should rather be considered as a nice local legend.
Municipal Law no. 375 promulgated on 19 April 1979 changed the names of the
town's streets to flower's names and prescribed the town's official motto "Uniflor
- Cidade Jardim" (Uniflor - Garden Town).
