The municipality of Tapejara (21,809 inhabitants in 2015; 24,061 ha) is
located 330 km north of Porto Alegre.
The municipality of Tapejara was
established as Sede Teixeira by Manoel Amâncio Teixeira and Julião Luiz Almeida,
who acquired three plots from Antônio dos Santos Bonetes. Plots were delimited
and sold in three waves (1915, 1917 and 1920).
Sede Teixiera was elevated to
the 11th section of the district of Coxilha, part of the municipality of Passo
Fundo; transferred in 1922 to the district of Sete do Setembro, Sede Teixeira
was elevated in 1929 to the 14th district of Passo Fundo.
The district was
renamed in 1940 to Tapejara, the Tupi-Guarani name of river Carreteiro, "tape"
meaning "a road" and "jara", "a lord". The Portuguese name of the river refers
to the carters ("carroceiros") transporting goods between Sede Teixiera and
Passo Fundo. The journey took at least three to four days, carts being the only
means of transport at the time.
Emancipation of Tapejara was pushed by
Father Raimundo, the parish's vicar, subsequently awarded the title of Protector
of the Municipality. The plebiscite, organized with the support of State
Representative Victor Graeff, was held on 10 July 1955. The municipality of
Tapejara was established by State Law No. 2,667 promulgated on 9 August 1955.
