The municipality of Lages (157,743 inhabitants in 2018; 264,431 ha, therefore Santa Catarina's biggest municipality by its area) is located 225 km south-west of Florianópolis.

Lages is named for the Campos de Lajens (Flagstones' Field), a wide area located between São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. Lajens was already mentioned in the 17th century as a resting place used by tropeiros that conveyed cattle from Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo.
The town of Lajes was established in 22 November 1766 and elevated a municipality on 25 May 1860. The town was renamed fo Lages in 1960, a written form not compliant with modern Portuguese lexicography.
Lages still has 76,000 bovine cattle, being Santa Catarina's capital of cattle-breeding.
