The municipality of Jaguari (11,551 inhabitants in 2016; 67,345 ha) is located
400 km north-west of Porto Alegre. The municipality is composed of the districts
of Jaguari (seat), Santo Izidro, Ijucapirama and Taquarichin.
Jaguari
originates in the São José Jesuit reduction, established in 1632 by Fathers
Romero, Superior of the Uruguai reductions, Manuel Bertot, Luiz Ernot, Cristovão
de Mendonza and Paulo Benevides. Reported as the most prosperous mission in the
area, São José was threatened by jaguars, diseases, hunger and pioneer's raids;
accordingly, the mission was transferred in 1638 on the right bank of Uruguai,
facing the town of São Borja.
A colony was established on the site on 29
April 1871, then part of the district of São Vicente, municipality of São
Gabriel. The colonial nucleus of Jaguari was inaugurated in 1880, its urban
planning being supervised by the land surveyor José Manuel de Siqueira Couto.
The district of Jaguari was established by a Municipal Act issued on 15 February
1893, as part of the municipality of São Vicente do Sul. The municipality of
Jaguari was established on 16 August 1920.
