The municipality of Charrua (3,471 inhabitants in 2010; 19,812 ha) is located
400 km of Porto Alegre.
Charrua was settled in the early 20th century by
German and Italian colonists. Established a 7 September, the place was first
known as Vila Sete de Setmbro, as a district of Passo Fundo, subsequently
transferred to Getúlio Vargas, and, in the 1950s, to Tapejara. As a tribute to
the Caingangue who once lived in the area, the town was renamed to Charrua, a
Tupi-Guarani [rather, Portuguese!] word meaning "a plow". After a plebiscite
organized on 10 November 1991, the municipality of Charrua was established by
State Law No. 9,617 promulgated on 20 March 1992, and inaugurated on 1 January
1993.
