The municipality of Apiúna (10,542 inhabitants in 2017; 49,334 ha) is located
200 km west of Florianópolis.
Apiúna was established on 29 September
1978, as Aquidabã, by 150 immigrants, in a place originally known as Bugherbach.
The place was renamed to Apiúna, on 1 January 1944, for a Tupi-Guarani word
meaning "a black hill", referring to Dom Bosco hill (390 m), which overlooks the
town.
The municipality of Apiúna was established by State Law No. 1,100
promulgated on 4 January 1988, separating from Indaial, and inaugurated on 1
June 1989.
