The municipality of Victor Graeff (3,292 inhabitants; 24,969 ha) is located
260 km north-west of Porto Alegre.
Victor Graeff was established, as Vila
Cochinho on the banks of stream Cochinho by tropeiros heading to Cruz Alta and
the neighborhood. Cochinho refers to a small drinker ("cocho", diminutive form,
"cochinho"), where the immigrants washed their clothes and discussed the
village's affairs.
The municipality of Victor Graeff was established on 23
October 1965, separating from Não Me Toque. The municipality's namesake is the
politician and lawyer Victor Oscar Graeff, State Representative from 1947 to
1959, who pushed the political emancipation of the town but unfortunately died
during the process.
