The municipality of Agrolândia (10,711 inhabitants in 2018; 20,755 ha) is
located 275 km west of Florianópolis.
Agrolândia was colonized in 1911 by
brothers Ricardo and Domingos Alves Paes and their families, coming from Lages.
The Alves family eventually settled there, the place being renamed to Serra dos
Alves (Alves' Mountain). The first German immigrants - Otto Zwicker, Otto and
Leopoldo Prochnow, and João and Eduardo Will - settled in 1917, followed a few
years later by Italian families coming from Rodeio and Rio dos Cedros.
The
district of Trombudo Alto was established within Rio do Sul by Municipal Law No.
301 promulgated on 1 May 1957 and validated by State Law No. 308 promulgated on
29 August 1957. The district was transferred to the municipality of Trombuda
Central by State Law No. 348 promulgated on 21 June 1958.
The municipality of
Agrolândia was established by State Law No. 831 promulgated on 12 June 1962 and
