Balsa Nova, Municipality in Paraná, Brazil.

Balsa Nova extends across 396 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 865 meters, surrounded by municipalities including Lapa, Araucária, and Campo Largo.

The settlement originated in 1702 with the Capela Nossa Senhora do Carmo, while the name Balsa Nova derives from a ferry crossing built by Galdino Chaves in 1891.

The area transformed from its initial names of Rodeio, Rodeiozinho, and Rodeio Grande to Balsa Nova following the construction of a modern ferry system.
