The municipality of Abdon Batista (2,653 inhabitants in 2010; 23,560 ha) is
located 330 km west of Florianópolis.
Abdon Batista was settled in 1919
by the Bortoli, Zanchett, Mocelin, Mecabô and Demeneck families, of Italian
origin, coming from Guaporé (Rio Grande do Sul). They acquired plots near river
Canoas and founded a settlement named Vargem, from "varzea", "a plain submitted
to river flood", subsequently renamed to Vila Nova (New Town).
The district
of Abdon Batista was established by Decree No. 534 issued on 2 March 1934. The
municipality of Abdon Batista was established by State Law No. 7,684 promulgated
on 26 April 1989.
The municipality's namesake is the politician Abdon
Batista (1851-1922), who was State Representative (1884-1885, 1888-1889,
1901-1903, 1904-1906, 1910-1912), State Senator (1912-1915), Vice-President of
the Province of Santa Catarina and interim President of the Province (1889), and
