The municipality of Santa Rosa (72,504 inhabitants in 2016; 48,980 ha) is

Santa Rosa was established in

with the set up of plots. The colony grew quickly to 11,215 inhabitants in 1920.
Pushed by the newspaper "A Serra" set up by the emancipation movement, the
municipality of Santa Rosa was established on 1 July 1931 and inaugurated on 10
August 1931. The railway connecting Santa Rosa to Santo Ângelo was inaugurated
