Uruguaiana, Border municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Uruguaiana stands on the eastern bank of the Uruguay River at 115 meters elevation, facing the Argentine city of Paso de los Libres across the water.
The municipality emerged in 1839 as Sant'Ana do Uruguai, gained town status in 1846, and developed into a city by 1874, marking its growth trajectory.
The municipal territory maintains strong gaucho traditions through music festivals, regional dances, and cattle ranching practices that define local identity.
The Ruben Berta International Airport connects the municipality with Porto Alegre while the International Bridge links Brazil directly to Paso de los Libres in Argentina.
The municipality represents the largest population center in western Rio Grande do Sul, functioning as a primary livestock and rice processing hub.
