history
The founding date is 1937, when the Alsatian brothers Rene and Arnoldo Frey established the Fazendas Liberata and Buitá Verde in the western area of the Planalto Serrano . The area first became the Liberata district, which belonged to the Curitibanos municipality . On December 20, 1961, the district was raised together with parts from Videira to the municipal city Município de Fraiburgo .
economy
The Frey brothers set up a sawmill in Fraiburgo in 1919. After extensive deforestation, the region turned to apple cultivation and became an important cultivation area ( Terra da Maçã in Portuguese ). For example, Agrícola Fraiburgo, Brazil's largest producer of apples and apple juice concentrate, is based here.
The formerly dense forests of the region consisted predominantly of Brazilian walnuts, cedars, cinnamon trees, mate bushes and lush Brazilian pines. Despite the ruthless deforestation in recent decades, these forests continue to characterize the typical landscape of southern Brazil.
