The municipality of Terra Roxa (17,439 inhabitants in 2019; 89,079 ha) is
located 650 km north-west of Curitiba. The municipality is made of the districts
of Terra Roxa (seat) and Santa Rita (established by Law No. 99 promulgated on 24
January 1964) and Alto Alegre (est. by Law No. 46 promulgated 16 June 1976).
Terra Roxa was settled in 1955 by Londrina-based Companhia Ipiranga,
subsequently renamed to Companhia de Colonização e Desenvolvimento Rural
(CODAL). The place was first settled on 15 December 1955 by the families of Nilo
Benigno Faya Corte and Sebastião Leão. Father Rafael Pivetti celebrated a first
mass on 15 January 1956 after the inauguration of Hotel Maracaju.
The
district of Terra Roxa d'Oeste was established, as part of the municipality of
Guaíra, by State Law No. 45 promulgated on 3 October 1956. The municipality of
Terra Roxa was established by State Law No. 220 promulgated on 14 December 1961.
Th name of Terra Roxa ("Purple Soil") was erroneously derived by Brazilian
colonists from "terra rossa" ("Red Soil"), the name given to this type of soil
by the Italian colonists who developed coffee cultivation in the region.
Terra Roxa was granted the title of national capital of baby linen by Federal
Law No. 13,537 promulgated on 15 December 2017.
