History
German immigrants, led by Frederico Donner, settled at the confluence of the rivers Benedito and of Cedros, that came from the Colony of Blumenau. Italian immigrants also arrived later, and today each of these two ethnic groups account for almost 50%. Most immigrants who arrived in Timbó came from Germany (Pomerania and Hamburg) and from Italy (Chiavenna and Trent). Timbó was founded on October 12, 1869, and elevated to a municipality on March 25, 1934. [7]
