The municipality of Carlos Barbosa (29,409 inhabitants in 2018; 22,290 ha) is
located 100 km of Porto Alegre. The municipality is composed of the districts of
Carlos Barbosa (seat), Santa Luíza, Arcoverde and Santo Antônio de Castro.
Carlos Barbosa was mostly established in the 1870s by Italian immigrants
coming from Lombardy and Venetia. The settlement was originally named for its
geographical location: Linha Estrada General (General Line Road), then Primeira
Secção do Caminho Geral (First Section of the General Path), and, after the set
up of a church, a school and a cemetery, Trinta e Cinco (Thirty-five, for the
plot's number). In 1909, the place was renamed to Santa Luíza by a railway
engineer, as a tribute to his bride, the Belgian teacher Luíza Debauprés. On 25
January 1910, Júlio Azambuja, Intendent of Garibaldi, renamed the town to Carlos
Barbosa, for Carlos Barbosa Gonçalves, Governor of Rio Grande do Sul from 1908
to 1913 and builder of the Montenegro-Caixas do Sul railway.
Carlos Barbosa
was elevated in 1925 to the 2nd district of Garibaldi. The municipality of
Carlos Barbosa was established by State Law No. 3,831 promulgated on 25
September 1959.

The
city page records that the official flag of the City of Carlos Barbosa was
instituted by the Law nº 341/75, of 29 of September, 1975, and has the following
specifications:
A rectangular flag, background of dark blue, with a
rectangle of white edges forming the initials CB; the interior of the rectangle
is white and on this is a gold cog-wheel. In the center of this is a disk with
the words CARLOS BARBOSA and “25.09.59”. Two yellow heads of wheat with blue
lining surrounds the wheel.
The significance of the colors and drawings are:
the rectangle, that
surrounds the images makes up the letters CB, initials in the name of the City.
The form, also, is of an open book representing the culture, given the great
number of schools in relation to the existing population at the time. The
cog-wheel represents work and industrial activity, whereas the two heads of
grain represent the agricultural potential of the city and, finally, we find the
name of the city and date of its political emancipation.
