located on the border with Argentina, 600 km west of Curitiba.
Planalto
was established in the 1950s by colonists coming from Tenente Portela, Criciumal,
Tręs Passos, Horizontina and Ijuí (Rio Grande do Sul), and from Caçador, Joaçaba
and São Miguel D´Oeste (Santa Caterina).
Osvaldo Hoffmann established a grain
exporting company and a mill producing soybean oil; the family also operated a
mill in Francisco Beltrão.
The district of Planalto was established within
the municipality of Capanema by Municipal Law No. 4 promulgated on 9 April 1962,
to be elevated a municipality by State Law No. 4,731 promulgated on 24 June
