The municipality of Rodeio Bonito (5,743 inhabitants in 2000; 8,325 ha) is located 430 km north-west of Porto Alegre. The municipality is composed of the districts of Rodeio Bonito (seat) and Saltinho.

Rodeio Bonito emerged as a "rodeio" (a place were cattle was grouped for enumeration, management, marking etc...) established in a clearing by Flôrencio Câmara de Azevedo. Located on a hill, the place allowed a panoramic view on the surroundings and was deemed "bonito" (beautiful).
First settled in 1895, Rodeio Bonito remained quite isolated until 1927, being one of the most remote and lately colonized areas of Rio Grande do Sul.
The town emerged in 1930, its first inhabitant being Rodolfino Portes da Silva. The district of Rodeio Bonito was established within Palmeira das Missãos by Municipal Law No. 33 promulgated on 16 June 1948. The municipality of Rodeio Bonito was established by State Law No. 4,667 promulgated on 20 December 1963 and inaugurated on 15 April 1964.
