Fazenda Rio Grande

Fazenda Rio Grande is a municipality in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, situated on elevated land around 908 meters above sea level. Residential neighborhoods and commercial areas form the main structure of the city.

The area transformed from agricultural land into an independent municipality on January 26, 1990, driven by population growth and economic development. This transition marked a new phase for the region as it gained its own administrative status.

People here gather regularly in public squares to celebrate with regional music and dance, keeping local traditions alive through these everyday moments. These gatherings form the social rhythm of the community and shape how neighbors connect.

The municipality connects to major highways and offers regular bus services to Curitiba for those who commute to the capital. These links make it convenient to reach the neighboring city for work or visits.

The area experienced remarkable growth in just three decades after becoming independent, with its population rising from a few thousand to over 102,000. This rapid expansion reflects the strong development the region has undergone since gaining its own status.
