The municipality of Tibagi (20,607 inhabitants in 2020; 296,157 ha) is
located 230 km north-west of Curitiba. The municipality is made of the districts
of Tibagi (seat) and of Caetano Mendes and Alto do Amparo.
Tibagi is
named for the sinuous river Tibagi, known in the 18th century as "the marvelous
river" or "the true eldorado". Gold, diamond and gems transported by the river
attracted all kinds of adventurers; the first permanent settlement established
in the region seems to date back to 1782, when Antônio Machado Ribeiro, aka
Machadinho ("The Man with the Hatchet"), moved with his family from São Paulo to
the Fortaleza estate, owned by his associate José Felix da Silva; subsequently,
Machadinho moved again to the banks of the river, on the today's site of the
town of Tibagi. Ana Beja, Machadinho's niece, built the chapel that was the
center of the emerging town. Law No. 15 promulgated on 6 March 1846 established
the parish of Tibagi. The municipality of Tibagi was established by Law No. 302
promulgated on 18 March 1872 and inaugurated on 10 January 1873. Since then,
several new municipalities have been established in the Paraná's "New North",
which significantly decreased the area of the municipal territory.
