The municipality of Congonhinhas (8,857 inhabitants in 2020; 53,696 ha) is
located 400 km north-west of Curitiba.
Congonhinhas was established in
1926 by José Domingues da Costa, José Carlos de Oliveira, Joaquim Luiz de
Oliveira, João Canedo da Silva and Eugenia Domingues da Costa, who erected a
wooden chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Apparition. The town's name is the
diminutive form of "congonha", a plant locally used as a substitute to yerba
mate.
