Municipality

The municipality of Turvo (13,000 inhabitants in 2010; 23,394 ha) is located 250 km south-west of Florianópolis.

Turvo was established by the Italian immigrants Marcos Rovaris and Martinho Guizzo, which were granted big plots by the government as a reward for the construction of roads. In 1912, Ângelo Rovaris acquired from his cousin Marcos a plot near river Turvo, which he soon cleared and planted and cultivated. The two cousins established a flour mill and a sawmill, attracting more colonists. In 1913, Antônio Bez Batti, from Urussanga, initiated the clearing of the future site of the municipality. He constructed a road, a shop and a chapel built with local timber.
The district of Turvoa was established within Araranguá the municipality of Araranguá by Law No. 1,709 promulgated in 1930, and elevated a municipality in 1948, to be inaugurated on 20 March 1949.

Yellow represents resources, referring to the municipality's fertile and resistant soil. Green represents rainforest. Red represents the blood of the colonists who explored the region's forests and lands.

The arms of the municipality of Turvo are composed of a shield surmounted by a mural crown. Placed between the crown and the shield's upper edge, a cross symbolizes people's Christian spirit. The shield is basically divided into two quarters. In the first quarter, in the upper central part, a cogwheel inscribing rice panicles, representing industrialization of this crop as a big source of income for the municipality. Right, a tobacco plant, and left, a maize plant, crops also sources of income for the municipality. In the second quarter a rural landscape, in the foreground a tractor plowing the soil, symbolizing mechanized agriculture in the municipality. In the shield's lower outer part, a scroll inscribed with the municipality's name and date of establishment. Between the shield and the scroll, bananas representing yet another regional crop.
