Municipality

The municipality of Nova Ara�� (4,429 inhabitants in 2016; 7,470 ha) is located 220 km north-west of Porto Alegre.

Nova Ara�� was established on 8 March 1901 as the colonial nucleus of Ara��, as part of the 3rd district of Lagoa Vermelha; most colonists came from the "old colonies" of Bento Gon�alves, Flores da Cunha, Veran�polis... The colony was named for Cattley guava ("ara��", Psidium cattleyanum Sabine), a tree growing profusely near the stream, also named Ara��, forming a shelter and a meeting point. In 1932, Ara�� was transferred to Prata, as its 4th district, to be renamed to Nova Ara��.
In 1962, the process of emancipation of a new municipality composed of Bassano, Nova Ara�� and Para� was initiated. Nova Ara�� eventually followed its own way.
The municipality of Nova Ara�� was established by Municipal Law No. 4,884 promulgated on 22 December 1964 and inaugurated on 12 April 1965.
