The municipality of Xavantina (4,124 inhabitants in 2013; 21,669 ha) is
located 530 km west of Florian�polis. The municipality is composed of the
districts of Xavantina (seat) and of the district of Linha das Palmeiras.
Xavantina was established in the 1920s by the Broetto, Balbinot, Criveletto,
Zanandr�a and Lecardelli families, short after the inauguration of the railway
connecting S�o Paulo to Rio Grande do Sul.
The district of Xavantina was
established, within the municipality of Seara, by Municipal Law No. 29
promulgated on 23 August 1956, to be created a municipality by State Law No. 945
promulgated on 13 December 1963, which was inaugurated on 2 February 1964.
The town was named either for the Xavantes natives of for one of the earlier
settlers who came from Nova Xavantina (Mato Grosso); named Possan, he was the
first owner of a car in the town.
