Municipality
The municipality of Curitibanos is located 300 km west of Florian�polis.
Curitibanos was originally established as Fazenda dos Curitibanos by Captain Ant�nio Pereira, member of the Lages foundation committee, in a place called Campos dos Curitibanos, used by tropeiros as a resting place. Threatened by the Botocudos natives, the fazenda was abandoned.
Re-settled in 1800, the place was known in 1851 as district of Curitibanos e Campos Novos Reunidos. The parish of Nostra Senhora da Concei��o was transformed on 11 June 1869 in the municipality of Curitibanos.

The flag and arms of Curitibanos are prescribed by Municipal Law No. 755 promulgated on 14 August 1968.
Article 1.
The flag and arms of Curitibanos shall have the design and the historical, technical and artistic specifications given in the Appendix [unavailable] to this Law.
1 - On the coat of arms, in the lower left part, "1869" is the year of creation of the municipality; in the lower right part, "1873" is the year of inauguration of the municipality.
2 - The Executive shall let correct the design of the two Brazilian pines surrounded the shield, so that they faithfully represent the_Araucaria Brasiliensis_ type, which is the region's native pine.
The flag is white with 16 red stripes representing the municipal power, and the coat of arms of the municipality in the center.
The shield is surmounted by eight towers, five visible, indicating the seat of a county.
Argent is a symbol of friendship, equity, justice, innocence and purity. The red chevron recalls the courage, valiance and audacity of the early colonists. In the center, two horses without harness are a symbol of independence and liberty. Black is a symbol of wisdom, simplicity, prudence, honesty and moderation. The Catherine wheel is a symbol of Santa Catarina.
