The municipality of Palmeira (34,109 inhabitants in 2021; 145,726 ha) is
located 80 km west of Curitiba. The municipality is composed of the districts of
Palmeira (seat) and Papagaios Novos.
Palmeira was established on 7 April
1819, as the parish of Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Palmeira, on a plot offered
by Lieutenant Manuel José de Araújo and his wife, Ana Maria da Conceição de Sá.
Colônia Cecília was managed from 1890 to 1894 in Palmeira by the Italian
agronomist Giovanni Rossi as South America's single example of anarchist
agricultural colony.
