were later joined by Italian families coming from Bento Gonçalves, Flores da
Cunha, Farroupilha, Caxias do Sul, Veranópolis and Antônio Prado.

The flag and arms of São Domingos do Sul are prescribed by Municipal Law No.
65 promulgated on 13 August 1990.
Article 2.
The coat of arms shall
have the following characteristics.
A Roman shield with blue, green, yellow
and red background. The green and yellow colors represent the country, as well
as blue; the green, yellow and red colors represent the state of Rio Grande do
Sul, where the municipality is located. Blue is the municipality's
characteristic color, symbolizing peace and the immense universe that was
steadily conquered, whatever it may be, by the municipality that only recently
started its way as such.
in the lower, main quarter is represented a sun, as
a symbol of birth, fertility and development of all the nature's components, the
human being included. Also known as the king star, the sun provides light and
guidance to everyone on the historical path initiated by the municipality. The
multi-shaped mountains represent the topography of almost the whole municipal
territory.
In the left quarter, on a yellow background, a pig, a bovine and a
poultry, representing the municipality's primary production, main activity and
first source of income. In the right quarter, on a red background,
characterizing the municipality's secondary production, a factory representing
industry; the basalt activity stands out, which served as motivation for the
construction of the represented building, in addition to other industrial
activities that exist here or are in development. The cogwheel, together with
industry, represents commerce and transport, which are strong sources of income
for the municipality. The shield is surmounted by three interlaced yellow links
representing the Executive, the Legislative and the Municipal Community. The
main link is charged in the center with a cross, a signal of faith, union and
religious spirit that have always been taken very seriously, guided by the
exemplary Protector of the municipality, His Grace João Benvegnu, a symbol of
faith, hope and charity, in the search of peace, justice, liberty, fraternity
and development. The red, yellow and green scroll is inscribed with "São
Domingos do Sul" and the date "08-12", on one side, and "1987", on the other,
the day of official creation of the municipality. The shield is surrounded by
crop products most representative of agriculture, such as maize and soybean,
among others.
