The municipality of Salete (7,357 inhabitants in 2010; 17,931 ha) is located
250 km north-west of Florianópolis.
Salete was colonized in 1925 by
German, Italian and Ukrainian immigrants. The district of Ribeirão Grande was
established in 1949 within the municipality of Taió, to be elevated a
municipality renamed to Salete by State Law No. 799 promulgated on 29 December
1961.
Salete is named for Our Lady of La Salette, whose statue was placed in
1943 on Sanctuary Hill near a seminary ruled by the Congregation of the Holy
Spirit.
