The municipality of Taba� (4,046 inhabitants in 2007; 9,475 ha) is located 80
km north-west of Porto Alegre.
Taba� is named for Tupi-Guarani words
meaning "union of waters", referring to the confluence of streams that form
river Santa Cruz, here the limit with the neighboring municipality of Triunfo.
Taba� was established by Azorean immigrants mostly coming from Taquari, German
immigrants coming from S�o Leopoldo, and Italian immigrants coming from the
mountains. Originally known as S�o Joaquim, the settlement was renamed to Taba�
in 1940.
The municipality of Taba� was established by State Law No. 10,660
promulgated on 28 December 1995, separating from Taquari, and inaugurated on 1
January 1997.
