Municipality

The municipality of Tio Hugo (2,724 inhabitants in 2010; 11,420 ha) is located 250 km north-west of Porto Alegre.
The municipality of Tio Hugo was established by State Law No. 10,764 promulgated on 16 April 1996, separating from Victor Graeff, Ernestina and Ibirapuitã, and inaugurated on 1 January 2001.

The municipality's odd name (Uncle Hugo) is connected to the building of road BR386, which was completed in 1968. In 1963, Hugo André Loreno established at km 214 a petrol station on behalf of the national company, Petrobrás. Extremely appreciated by his customers, neighbors and friends, he was nicknamed Uncle Hugo. The town developed by the Rabello company during the building of road 386 was soon named for him.
