3 February 2022 The municipality of Jardim Alegre (11,465 inhabitants in 2018; 39,362 ha) is
located 400 km west of Curitiba.
Jardim Alegre was established in 1952 by
Genibre Aires Machado, Pedro Machado, Renato Machado, Godofredo Aires Machado,
and Acincino Aires Vidal (their cousin), owners of Fazenda Rancho Alegre. The
then tiny settlement was soon renamed to Trâs Machado; why the chosen name
referred to only three Machados while they were five is still a matter of
speculation. The municipal coat of arms, however, features as its main charges
five axes ("machados") honoring the five founders.
The district of Jardim
Alegre was established, within the municipality of Ivaiporã, by State Law No.
4,367 promulgated on 24 May 1961, to be elevated a municipality by State Law No.
4,859 promulgated on 28 April 1964. The municipality was inaugurated on 14
December 1964.
