In 1666, the settlement of Campina Grande emerged. It was a small region that belonged to the Municipality of Arraial Queimado (now Bocai\u00fava do Sul). In 1873, the parish (freguesia\u2014the name given to a settlement once a priest was present) of Campina Grande was created, under the invocation of Saint John the Baptist. In 1883, the parish of Campina Grande was elevated to the category of a town (vila\u2014the location of the municipal government headquarters), separating from the municipality of Arraial Queimado. On March 22, 1884, the Municipal Council of the Town of Campina Grande was installed, and the first councilors were elected. In 1892, the first mayor, Lieutenant Jos\u00e9 Eur\u00edpedes Gon\u00e7alves, was elected.<\/p>\r\nIn 1939, the Municipality of Campina Grande was dissolved, and the region became a district, split between Piraquara and Bocai\u00fava do Sul. In 1943, by Law No. 199 of December 30, the name Campina Grande was changed to Timb\u00fa, remaining a district of the municipality of Piraquara. Starting in 1951, with Law No. 790, the region regained its status as a municipality, still under the name Timb\u00fa. Finally, in 1956, following a demand from the population, the municipality was renamed Campina Grande do Sul.","link":"https:\/\/grandereservamataatlantica.com.br\/en\/municipio\/campina-grande-do-sul\/","name":"Campina Grande do Sul","slug":"campina-grande-do-sul","taxonomy":"municipio","parent":349,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
