history
According to the historian Ruben Neis, the place name is derived from the Portuguese-speaking nobility title of the Saxon-Thuringian Count Luiz Henrique Barão de Holleben . This was a railway and road construction engineer in southern Brazil and had settled from 1880 to 1882 at a construction line post between the settlements of Salvador do Sul and Carlos Barbosa. The current location emerged from the branch, but the origin of the name is not undisputed. The historian Campos Neto also names Chico Pedro Barão de Jacuí as a possible namesake.
The area was still very sparsely populated at the end of the 19th century. A development began with the immigration of Germans and Italians. The first families carried u. a. the names Mayer, Bäckenbach, Neuhaus, Stein, Schmitz, Koch, Ebeling, Blei, Schäfer, Neukamp and Selbach; they came from a. from the Rhineland, Saxony and southwest Germany. Among the Italian immigrants, these were the De Marchi, Blasetti, Dai Pra, Grando, Basso, Cerutti, Maragnon, Bedini, Cestari, Delazzari, Bassegio, Grespan and Costa families. This was followed in smaller numbers by immigrants from French-speaking Switzerland and the Dutch, and from the middle of the 20th century Portuguese and Bolivians joined them. The preservation and maintenance of German and Italian customs have been formative since immigration.
The means of transport for agricultural products such as the wine produced in the area were still the ox cart at the end of the 19th century due to the inadequate transport links. In 1889 a justice of the peace set up the first notary's office. On the occasion of the construction of the railway line from Porto Alegre to Caxias do Sul , rails were relocated to Barão and the local railway station was inaugurated on December 1, 1909. Operations ceased in 1979.
The area originally belonged to the municipal city of São João de Montenegro and formed a district there, from December 1, 1914, the place received the status of a Vila (small town). After a referendum, Barão was spun off and received on May 12, 1988 the status of Município, the first city prefect was Valério José Calliari.
Barão has a strong German-Brazilian influence.
