Few cities in western Santa Catarina have a history as closely tied to the agricultural colonisation of the state's interior as Concórdia. Set in the rolling uplands of the upper Uruguay River basin, the city developed from settlement by families of mainly Italian and German descent during the 20th century. Food processing remains central to its identity: Sadia, one of Brazil's best-known food brands, was founded in Concórdia in 1944 by Attilio Fontana. That industrial legacy sits alongside a regional economy of poultry, pork and dairy farming, linking the urban centre to rural communities across western Santa Catarina.
