Maquiné, Municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Located at an elevation of 12 meters above sea level, Maquiné extends across the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul state.
The area received its first descendants of Azorean settlers in 1816, marking the beginning of European colonization in the Maquiné region.
The municipality reflects a mixed heritage through its population, which includes descendants of German, Italian, Polish immigrants, and indigenous Tupi communities.
The municipal government manages local affairs independently, operating under the framework established by the 1988 Brazilian Constitution.
The Maquiné River valley became a center of sugar cane cultivation and brandy production starting from 1840.
