The municipality of Cotiporã (3,853 inhabitants in 2019; 17,238 ha) is located 160 km of Porto Alegre and 35 km of Bento Gonçalves.

Cotiporã was established in 1892 by Venetian immigrants, as Monte Vêneto. Brazil's first dairy cooperative, Cooperative Trabalho e Progresso, was established in Monte Vêneto. Brazil's "father of refrigerated meal industry", A Sul Americana, was also established in Monte Vêneto.
The town was renamed in 1939 to Cotiporã, a Tupi-Guarani word meaning "a good place". The municipality of Cotiporã was established by State Law No. 7,652 promulgated on 12 May 1982, separating from Veranópolis, and inaugurated on 1 January 1983.
