Crissiumal

Crissiumal is a municipality in southern Rio Grande do Sul organized around administrative structures and farming areas. The landscape is marked by fields for tobacco and grain cultivation, with basic infrastructure supporting daily life.

Crissiumal was officially founded as a municipality in 1954 and transformed the region into an agricultural center. This establishment marked the start of organized development focused on tobacco and grain production.

The name Crissiumal comes from the Tupi-Guarani language and refers to crickets. Italian immigration in the 19th century left marks on local food traditions and customs that remain visible today.
