The municipality of Esperança do Sul (3,272 inhabitants in 201; 14,838 ha) is
located 500 km of Porto Alegre.
Esperança do Sul is named for an
historical event that took place on 6 January 1925. Heading to Vila de Alto
Uruguay, the leaders of the Prestes Column, a social rebel movement led by
Captain Luiz Carlos Prestes (1898-1990), passed through the village. The rumor
spread among colonists that the revolutionary and governmental forces would
peacefully meet there, so the place was called Esperança (Hope). Nothing
happened, though, since the Prestes Column's vanguard and rearguard stayed in
Tris Passos and moved to Paris, using another road.
The municipality of
Esperança do Sul was established in 1997.
