The municipality of Itaiópolis (21,669 inhabitants in 2019; 129,531 ha) is
located 360 km north-west of Florianópolis.
Itaiópolis was settled in
1889 by the families of João Reichardt, José Wiergenawski and João Becker, who
were soon joined by 5,000 Polish immigrants coming from Rio Negro (Paraná). The
Federal Colony of Lucena, established in 1890, was elevated in 1903 to a
district. The municipality of Itaiópolis was established on 18 March 1909,
separating from Rio Negro, and inaugurated on 1 July 1909.
On 7 September
1917, the area was incorporated to Santa Catarina; the district of Itaiópolis
was established, within the municipality of Mafra, by Law No. 3 promulgated on 2
October 1917.
The municipality of Itaiópolis was re-established by State Law
No. 1,120 promulgated on 28 October 1918 and inaugurated on 1 January 1919.
