The settlement began during the mate herb trade at the beginning of the 1900s. Official status as a division came in 1952.
The settlements across the region trace back to waves from Europe that arrived during timber operations, and these roots remain visible in local food and customs.

The region accounts for one-quarter of Paraná's entire grain output, focusing on soybeans, wheat, corn, rice, cotton, and beans. This agricultural weight shapes the entire surrounding landscape.
