Arroio Grande, Administrative municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Arroio Grande is a municipality in southern Rio Grande do Sul characterized by numerous streams and waterways running through its territory. The landscape is dominated by farmland and rural settlements spread across the region.
Manuel Jerônimo de Sousa established this settlement in 1803 near the Ferreira family ranch along a stream. The community gradually developed from this founding point into the agricultural region it is today.
Agriculture shapes daily life here, with rice paddies, soybean fields, and cattle ranches defining the landscape and local work. Farming remains central to how people live and work in this region.
The municipality is connected to major regional centers via BR-116 highway and state roads RS-602 and RS-473. These connections make reaching and moving around the area straightforward.
The territory is divided into three distinct districts - Mauá, Pedreiras, and Santa Izabel do Sul, each with its own character. This fragmented layout reflects how settlement patterns have developed across the area.
