The municipality of Nova Roma do Sul (3,584 inhabitants in 2016; 14,906 ha)
is located 160 km north of Porto Alegre.
Nova Roma do Sul was first
settled in 1880 by Polish, Swedish and Russian colonists. Italian immigrants
arrived in 1888 soon formed the majority of the settlers. Nova Roma do Sul
belonged to the municipality of Antônio Prado; the colonization commission
divided the territory in eight "linhas" and established 14 communities, each
with its own chapel. Castro Alves was the first seat of the colony; in 1894, the
transfer of the seat to Nova Treviso, in Linha Blessmann initiated a fierce
rivalry between the two settlements.
In 6 January 1899, Father Alexandre
Pelegrini, with the governor's permission, established the settlement of Nova
Roma in Lihas Carlos Leopoldo, in a site located between Castro Alves and Nova
Treviso. Nova Roma was elevated on 19 January 1923 as the 2nd district of
Antônio Prado.
The municipality of Nova Roma do Sul was established on 30
November 1987 and inaugurated on 1 January 1989.
