The municipality of Centenário do Sul (11,279 inhabitants in 2016; 37,184 ha)
is located on the border with the state of São Paulo, 450 km north-west of
Curitiba.
Centenário do Sul was established in 1943-1944. Pio Esteves
Martins built a first ranch in 1945. On 20 August 1945, engineer Casimir Leão
and land surveyor Margarido delimited plots offered to new colonists. The place
was named for river Centenário and its southern location.
The district of
Centenário do Sul was established in 1947 within the new municipality of
Jaguapitã. The municipality of Centenário do Sul was established by State Law
No. 790 promulgated on 14 November 1951 and inaugurated on 14 December 1952.
The municipal flag of Centenário do Sul shall be divided in eight green
quarters by eight red stripes superimposed by white stripes, placed two by two
in the horizontal and vertical dimensions, per bend and per bend sinister,
starting from a white central circle inscribing the municipal coat of arms.
The style of the flag obeys the Portuguese heraldic tradition of which we
inherited canons and rules; the flags should be divided in eight, six, four or
three parts, with the same colors as in the field of the coat of arms, charged
in the center with a geometric figure inscribing the coat of arms.
Obying the
same tradition, the central coat of arms symbolizes the municipal government,
while the circle inscribing it represents the town proper, as the municipal
seat. The stripes symbolize the municipal power spreading to all the parts of
the territory, while the quarters represent the rural estates existing on the
municipal territory.
The municipal flag shall have the dimensions officially
prescribed for the national flag.
Green, white and red are adopted as the
municipality's representative official colors, which can be used without any
restriction.
