Chapter #17: Palmas PR Brazil

For thousands of years the place which is the city of Palmas nowadays (in Paraná State) was Inhabited by indians from the Caingangues (or Kaingangs) tribes, who called it Kreie-bang-rê. The region was occupied by Brazilian farmers in 1839.

The Palmas' Fields region was explored for the first time in the 1720's, by the Bandeirante Zacarias Dias Côrtes. The city's first pioneers settled in the region between the years 1836 and 1839, but it was just in April 14th of 1879 that the city was emancipated from the municipality of Guarapuava.

Nowadays the city is famous for having one of the few wind farms in Brazil (where most of electricity is generated by hidroeletrical matrix) and its so many "windmills" along the countryside roads.
