The municipality of Ponte Preta (1,750 inhabitants in 2010; 10,000 ha) is
located 400 km north of Porto Alegre.
Ponte Preta was established around
1910, as Lajeado Grande. To connect the settlement with neighboring Souto Neto
and Linha 7, a bridge was erected over river Jupirangava. For the sake of
preservation, the wooden bridge was coated with tar; accordingly, its official
name, 3 October Bridge, was soon superseded by Black Bridge ("ponte preta").
The municipality of Ponte Preta was established by Municipal Law No. 9,537
promulgated on 20 March 1992.
