History

German immigrants, led by Frederico Donner, settled at the confluence of the Benedito and Cedros rivers, which originated from the Colony of Blumenau. Italian immigrants also arrived later, and today, each of these two ethnic groups accounts for almost 50% of the population. 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 was elevated to a municipality on March 25, 1934. [7]
