Pioneer days
São Bento do Sul was first settled by the Kolonisations Verein von 1849, in Hamburg, a 'for profit' colonization enterprise (as opposed to the State of provincial colonization efforts that were also taking place at that time) established in Hamburg, Germany.
Today there are different festivals celebrating the local population's immigrant roots: German, Italian, Polish, Czech, and others.
