Municipality

The municipality of Santo Ant�nio da Patrulha (42,658 inhabitants in 2017; 104,981 ha) is located 80 km north-east of Porto Alegre. The municipality is composed of the districts of Santo Ant�nio da Patrulha (seat), Miraguaia, Catanduva Grande, Pinheirinhos, Evaristo and Chicolom�.

Santo Ant�nio da Patrulha was one of the first four municipalities established in Rio Grande do Sul in 1809. "Gardens and houses" were settled in 1743 and placed under the custody of In�cio Jos� de Mendon�a e Silva and his wife Margarida Exalta��o da Cruz, who are considered as the town's founders. Administrative and social organization of the settlement was initiated in 1760 after the inauguration of the chapel of Santo Ant�nio da Guarda Velha de Viam�o.
The Municipal Chamber of Santo Ant�nio da Patrulha was inaugurated on 3 April 1811. The subsequent division of the original territory through successive emancipation processes made of Santo Ant�nio da Patrulha the root of 77 municipalities forming four "generations".
