2020The municipality of Redentora (11,629 inhabitants in 2010; 30,264 ha) is
located 450 km north-west of Porto Alegre.
Redentora was known in the
early 1800s as Vila Seca (Dry Town), a name referring to the region's limited
resources in freshwater. The first colonists of the place are Juio de Moura and
his family, who settled around 1900 a plot belonging to Fazenda dos Borges, a
domain established in 1870 by Manoel and Ana Belmont Borges.
The district of
Redenção (Redemption) was established in 1888 within the municipality of
Palmeira das Missões. In 1943 or 1947, the district was transfered to Três
Passos and renamed to Redentora after a statue of Christ Redemptor.
The
municipality of Rendetora was established on 12 April 1964.
