Itá

Itá is a municipality in the state of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. The administrative area sits within rolling terrain and is shaped by river valleys and waterways.

The area was established as an administrative unit to organize settlement and governance in southern Brazil. The original settlement was later relocated following the construction of a major dam for power generation.

The region maintains administrative practices that combine traditional Brazilian governance methods with local community participation in decision-making processes.

The area experiences seasonal weather changes and varying conditions that visitors should prepare for accordingly. Local services and facilities are arranged to meet the needs of the resident community.

Parts of the former settlement now lie underwater beneath the dam reservoir and hold interest for divers and history seekers. These submerged remains tell the story of a community that relocated to make way for a major energy project.
