The municipality of Luiz Alves (12,162 inhabitants in 2014; 26,008 ha) is
located 130 km north-west of Florianópolis.
Luiz Alves was founded in
August 1877 by 79 Italian immigrants, members of a group of 311 who had landed
in Itajaí on 10 November 1877. On 29 November 1877, they reached the site of the
new colony, at the confluence of rivers Luís Alves and Serafim. They were joined
on 10 December by another 100 Italians.
The colony was named for river Luiz
Alves. In his report on Belgian colonization in Santa Catarina, engineer Charles
Van Lede, director of the Belgian colony of Ilhota, recalls that his expedition
met in 1842 Dr. Luiz Alves, the river's namesake.
The municipality of Luiz
Alves was established by State Law No. 348 promulgated on 21 June 1958,
separating from Itajaí. For whatever reason, the name of the municipality was
altered to Luís Alves in the record of the first Municipal Law promulgated on 9
February 1959. The municipality's genuine name was officially re-established by
Municipal Decree No. 49 issued on 3 September 2015. The Decree states that the
municipality's name was never altered by the Legislative Assembly of Santa
Catarina, the sole body that cold have done it.
