São José do Norte, Municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

São José do Norte is a municipality in southern Brazil situated along the shores of Lagoa dos Patos. The territory spreads across flat terrain near sea level, shaped by water bodies and wetland landscapes.

The settlement received the title 'Mui Heroica Villa' from imperial authorities in recognition of residents' resistance during regional conflicts. This honor reflected the community's role in historical struggles affecting the area.

The municipality celebrates Dia da Consciência Negra in November, organizing events that honor African-Brazilian heritage through exhibitions and performances.

The area is flat and close to water, so visitors should expect damp conditions, especially during warmer months. The terrain is easy to navigate and provides good accessibility for exploration.

Lagoa dos Patos has long served as a vital trade route, and local life has always been closely tied to the water. This deep connection to the lagoon continues to shape the economy and daily routines of residents today.
