history
The city of Agrolândia had two different phases of colonization. In 1911 two brothers came from the city of Lages (Ricardo and Domingos Alves Paes). They started deforestation and the planting of corn and beans. Some conflicts with Indians who lived nearby are reported. In 1913 the Paes Alves family moved their permanent residence to Agrolândia.
From 1916 onwards, other families came to colonize what was then called Trombudo Alto (large trunk). This is probably because the river has numerous curves and therefore resembles a trunk. The first mention of "Trombudo" (Serra do Trombudo) was on May 5, 1791 in a letter to the governor of the São Paulo captaincy, Bernardo José de Lorena . German immigrants had already reached Rio do Sul , to which the territory belonged, as early as 1880 . The pioneers in Agrolândia were u. a. John Will, Eduardo Will, Otto Zwick, Otto and Leopoldo Prochnow. Italian immigrants came later. The place is still shaped by the immigrants of German origin.
In 1957, Trombudo Alto became a district ( Distrito de Trombudo Alto ) of Rio do Sul , then in 1958 of Trombudo Central , and on June 12, 1962 the city was founded, which was then named Agrolândia by Law No. 831. The implementation of this name change is celebrated on July 25th every year as a city holiday.
