The municipality of Curitibanos is located 300 km west of Florianópolis.
Curitibanos was originally established as Fazenda dos Curitibanos by Captain
Antônio Pereira, member of the Lages foundation committee, in a place called
Campos dos Curitibanos, used by tropeiros as a resting place. Threatened by the
Botocudos natives, the fazenda was abandoned.
Re-settled in 1800, the place
was known in 1851 as district of Curitibanos e Campos Novos Reunidos. The parish
of Nostra Senhora da Conceição was transformed on 11 June 1869 in the
municipality of Curitibanos.

The flag is white with 16 red stripes
representing the municipal power, and the coat of arms of the municipality in
the center.
The shield is surmounted by eight towers, five visible,
indicating the seat of a county.
Argent is a symbol of friendship,
equity, justice, innocence and purity. The red chevron recalls the courage,
valiance and audacity of the early colonists. In the center, two horses without
harness are a symbol of independence and liberty. Black is a symbol of wisdom,
simplicity, prudence, honesty and moderation. The Catherine wheel is a symbol
of Santa Catarina.
