The municipality of Campina Grande do Sul (43,685 inhabitants in 2020; 53,925
ha) is located 30 km north-east of Curitiba.
Campina Grande was
established in 1666 as part of the municipality of Arraial Queimado (Bocaiúva do
Sul). The parish of Campina Grande, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was
founded in 1873. Campina Grande was renamed to Glycerio in 1880, but the
inhabitants obtained the restoration of the old name within one year. The
municipality of Campina Grande was established in 1882 and inaugurated on 22
March 1884.
In 1939, Campina Grande was downgraded to a district split
between Piraquara and Bocaiúva do Sul. Law No. 199 promulgated on 30 December
1943 renamed the town to Timbú, which was elevated a municipality by State Law
No. 790 promulgated in 1951, and eventually renamed to Campina Grande do Sul in
1956, upon the inhabitants' request.
