The municipality of Capćo da Canoa (47,792 inhabitants; 9,710 ha) is located
140 km of Porto Alegre. Capćo da Canoa is famous for its 11 beaches which
stretch on nearly 19 km. The municipality is composed of the districts of Capćo
da Canoa (seat), Capćo Novo, Arroio Teixeira and Curumim.
Capćo da Canoa
emerged around 1900, as Arroio de Pescaria, settled mostly by fishermen and
adventurers. In the 1920s, descendants of German and Italian colonists of the
mountains and Porto Alegre started to spend the summer season on the seashore.
The place was renamed to Capćo da Canoa at the time. The name, already used for
a nearby domain owned by the famous Nunes family, was extended to the beach.
Cornélios, including Vila de Capćo da Canoa, was elevated the 6th district of
Osório by Act No. 73 issued on 1 February 1933. The district seat was
transferred in 1952 from Cornélios to Vila de Capćo da Canoa. The municipality
of Capćo da Canoa was established by State Law No. 7,638 promulgated on 12 April
1982, and inaugurated on 31 January 1983.
