The municipality of Sanv�o (10,402 inhabitants in 2010; 8,306 ha) is located
170 km south-west of Florian�polis.
Sang�o was established as the
district of 24 de Outobro by State Decree No. 531 issued on 2 March 1934,
separating from the district of Jaguaruna, and inaugurated on 2 April 1934. It
was renamed to Sang�o by State Law No. 86 promulgated on 31 March 1938.
The
municipality of Sang�o was established by State Law No. 8,552 promulgated on 30
March 1992, separating from Jaguaruna.
Sang�o is still known locally
under the name of Rua do Fogo (Fire Road). In the past, tropeiros used to spend
the night in a pottery workshop where they lit a fire, so that their meeting
point was soon known as Fire Road.
