Estância Velha, Industrial municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Estância Velha stands at 31 meters above sea level and extends across diverse landscapes typical of southern Brazil's geography and urban development.
The municipality gained its independence on September 8, 1959, following a period when German immigrants settled the area starting from 1824.
The leather industry defines the local identity, evolving from producing saddles in 1890 to becoming a center for tanning and footwear manufacturing.
The municipality connects to major regional centers through established roadways, supporting both industrial operations and residential mobility within the Porto Alegre metropolitan area.
Located in the Sinos River basin, the land retains traces of its origin as part of the Real Feitoria do Linho Cânhamo, established in 1788.
