land surveyor Carlos Othon Schlappal.
The district of Bra�o do Norte was
established by Municipal Law No. 1,217 promulgated on 2 October 1888, and
inaugurated on 17 May 1892.
The town was renamed in June 1926 to Colla�opolis,
after a former Mayor of Tubar�o, to re-adopt its original name in July 1928. The
municipality of Bra�o do Norte was established by State Law No. 231 promulgated
