The municipality of Santa Clara do Sul (6,603 inhabitants in 2019; 8,675 ha)
is located 140 km north-west of Porto Alegre.
Santa Clara do Sul is named
for Fazenda Santa Clara, established in 1869 by Antônio Fialho de Vargas, who
named the domain for his daughter, Sister Clara de Santa Estanislau da
Congregação de Maria (born Maria Clara Fialho de Vargas).
On 28 May 1895,
during the Federalist Revolution, the colonists led by Colonel José Diel and
Nicolau Klien, defeated Zeca Ferreira's band. Santa Clara was elevated to the
2nd district of Lajeado in 1914. Renamed to Inhuverá (in Tupi-Guarani, "a
shining field") in 1945, Santa Clara retrieved its original name in 1948.
The
municipality of Santa Clara do Sul was established by Municipal Law No. 9,621
promulgated on 20 March 1992.

Interpretation.
The Portuguese shield symbolizes the Portuguese origin of
the nation. The arch, localized in front of the parish church, represents the
religious feelings of Santa Clara's population. The road heading to the sun
means the municipality's progress. The factory represents a strong source of
income. In the background, the (green) mountains symbolizes Santa Clara's
abundant vegetation. The green and brown plantation symbolizes another strong
source of income, agriculture. The date inscribed of the scroll is the day,
month and year of the Law that created the municipality. The crossed arms are an
historic reminiscence to the brave people who fought for Santa Clara. In top,
the sun shining in the blue sky means serenity, a symbol of kindness and welcome
of the people.
