The municipality of Sanvão (10,402 inhabitants in 2010; 8,306 ha) is located
170 km south-west of Florianópolis.
Sangão was established as the
district of 24 de Outobro by State Decree No. 531 issued on 2 March 1934,
separating from the district of Jaguaruna, and inaugurated on 2 April 1934. It
was renamed to Sangão by State Law No. 86 promulgated on 31 March 1938.
The
municipality of Sangão was established by State Law No. 8,552 promulgated on 30
March 1992, separating from Jaguaruna.
Sangão is still known locally
under the name of Rua do Fogo (Fire Road). In the past, tropeiros used to spend
the night in a pottery workshop where they lit a fire, so that their meeting
point was soon known as Fire Road.
