About the Flag

The municipality of Munhoz de Melho (3,678 inhabitants in 2010; 13,702 ha) is located 450 km north-west of Curitiba.

Munhoz de Melho was established in 1944 as Colonia de Nacionais Interventor, a name shortened in 1950 to Interventor. The name was coined by Gustavo Ribas, as a tribute to his father, Manoel Ribas (1873-1946), "interventor" (~ Governor) of Paraná from 1932 to 1945, who offered a vast domain to establish the new colony.
The municipality of Munhoz de Melho was established by State Law No. 2,473 promulgated on 3 November 1955, separating from Astorga. The new municipality was named for José Munhoz de Mello (1912-1994), President of the Court of Justice of Paraná from 1953 to 1958.
