Municipality

The municipality of Quilombo (10,201 inhabitants in 2014; 27,928 ha) is located 580 km west of Florianópolis.

Quilombo was once inhabited by people led by a prophet who had predicted thay would be the only survivors to the end of the world. A Brazilian soldier who met them in the forest, close to river Chapecó, described them as "survivors of the Palmares Quilombo", referring to the community established by escaped slaves in north-eastern Brazil in the 17th century.
The modern colonization of Quilombo was achieved by descendants of German, Italian and Polish immigrants coming from Rio Grande do Sul.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Arcinoé Antônio Peixoto de Faria.
The classical Flemish-Iberian shield means that the place was under the Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) rule of the colonizing people who built the nation. The mural crown with four towers classifies the town as of third rank, or municipal seat. Red represents the qualities of the pioneers, of the citizens and of the leaders of the community.
Argent is a symbol of peace, friendship, work, prosperity, purity and religious feeling.
The broken chains in chief recall escaped slaves who formed quilombos; the town is the only one in Brazil to have been named as a tribute to those courageous people [but see above], which contributed to the building of the nation by their painful labor.
Black represents the black race reduced to slavery and is a symbol of authority, honesty, prudence, knowledge, moderation, and firmness. The shield's lower part features the hilly topography of the municipality. In base, the fountain pouring water represents the mineral sources present in the municipality and gushing forth on Hélio Antônio Faresin square.
Or is a symbol of glory, splendor, greatness, wealth, sovereignty; the white stripe represents river Chapecó. As supporter, the bean plant represents the town as the main bean producer in West Santa Catarina. The red scroll is inscribed in letters argent "QUILOMBO" surrounded by the date of inauguration of the municipality, "29/12/1961".
