Santa Catarina(Brazilian Portuguese:[ˈsɐ̃tɐkataˈɾinɐ]ⓘ) is one of the 27federative units of Brazil.It is located in the centre of the country'sSouthern region.It is bordered to the north by the state ofParaná,to the south by the state ofRio Grande do Sul,to the east by theAtlantic Ocean,and to the west by theArgentine provinceofMisiones.[4]

The state covers an area of approximately 95,730.69 square kilometres (37,000 sq mi), comparable toHungary,and ranking as theseventh smallest Brazilian state by area.[1][5][4]With a population of 7.6 million inhabitants in 2022, it is thetenth most populous state in Brazil.[1]Its capital isFlorianópolis,the second most populous city in the state afterJoinville.AlongsideEspírito Santo,Santa Catarina is one of the two states whose capital is not the largest city.[6]Jorginho Mello,a member of theconservativeLiberal Party,has been the governor of the state since 2023.[7]

It is one of the Brazilian states with the most mountainous terrain, where 52% of the territory is located above 600 metres.[8]According to theKöppen-Geiger climate classification system,Santa Catarina predominantly features ahumid subtropical climate(Cfa) in the coastal lowlands and the lower altitude areas of the plateau, whilst the remainder of the plateau is characterised by anoceanic climate(Cfb).[9]

The state of Santa Catarina is one of the oldest states in Brazil. It separated from São Paulo in 1738, withJosé da Silva Paisserving as its first governor. The state was established to extend Portuguese dominions to southern Brazil, reaching as far as theRio de la Plataregion.[10]It is also the oldest state in the South Region of Brazil, predating Rio Grande do Sul (1807) and Paraná (1853). The state was populated by various peoples throughout its history, such as the indigenous Carijós people of theTupi-Guaranigroup, and later became an important destination forAzorean Portuguese,Italian,German,and other European immigrants.[10]African slaves and their descendants also contributed to the formation of the state's population.[11]

Thesocioeconomicindicators of Santa Catarina rank among the best in Brazil. The stateleads in life expectancyandpublic safety,and boasts the lowest rates ofhomicide,illiteracy,povertyandextreme povertyin the country.[12][13][14][15]It holds also the third-highestHuman Development Index(HDI), thethird-highest GDP per capita,and the third-lowest rates ofinfant mortality.Additionally, it is the federative unit with the least economic inequality in Brazil.[1][16]

Etymology[edit]

See also:Catherine of Alexandria

Francisco Dias Velho, who arrived on theisland now known as Santa Catarinaaround 1675, is said to have given the place its name. There, he built a chapel dedicated toCatherine of Alexandria,whom, it is claimed, one of his daughters was named after.[17][18]Other authors attribute the origin of the name toSebastian Cabot,who is said to have dedicated the island. At that time, the renowned Venetian explorer and cartographer passed through the area between 1526 and 1527. He is thought to have consecrated it toSaint Catherine,or rather, honoured his wife, Catarina Medrano.[18]The name of the state is derived from that of the island.[17]

The state's native inhabitants are calledCatarinensesorBarrigas-Verdes(lit. Green-Belly).[19][20][21]The origin of the term comes from the waistcoat worn by the soldiers of the Portuguese military forces, under Joaquim Francisco do Livramento. These troops, in 1753, departed from Santa Catarina to fight inRio Grande do Suland secured for Brazil the conquest of theCaptaincy of Santa Catarina.[20][21]

Originating fromCatholicism,the name honours the state's patron saint.[17][18]TheRomansworshipped an ancient deity,Sancus,who ensured promises and oaths were not violated, mandating their fulfilment. From his name comes the Latin verb sancire, "to consecrate". Sanctus, "holy, consecrated, which must, above all, be treated with respect", is the past participle of the verb itself. Etymologically, the name Catherine derives from theGreektermεκατερινα,meaning "pure" or "immaculate".[22][23]

History[edit]

Indigenous peoples, colonial and imperial era[edit]

At the outset of the16th century,the area now known as the state of Santa Catarina was populated by the Carijós, a tribe belonging to theTupi-Guarani group.These Indigenous peoples were catechised (educated and pacified in the Catholic faith) starting from 1549.[24]

Expeditions fromPortugalandSpaincommenced exploration of the Santa Catarina coast in the early years following Brazil's discovery by Europeans.[25]Sebastian Cabot,en route to theRio de la Plata,navigated past theisland then known as Dos Patos,bestowing upon it the name Santa Catarina in 1526. In 1534, John III of Portugal awarded the mainland territories toPedro Lopes de Sousa.Nevertheless, these lands remained largely uninhabited, withJesuits,Spanish, and Portuguese settlers exploring them but failing to establish any permanent settlements throughout the 16th century.[25]

From the outset of Brazil's colonisation, the lands of Brazil'ssouthern regiondid not greatly interest the Portuguese colonisers. This was due to the absence ofprecious metalsand its colder climate (asfrostshindered the cultivation ofsugarcane). The Portuguese only began to take an interest in the region in the mid-17th century.The settlement ofNossa Senhora da Graça do Rio de São Franciscowas established by Manuel Lourenço de Andrade and his friends in 1658. The present-day city was the first permanent settlement in the region.[25]

The settlement ofNossa Senhora do Desterro,on the island of Santa Catarina, was established by the PaulistabandeiranteFrancisco Dias Velho in 1675. At that time, the notable settler was accompanied by his heirs, slaves, and servants. In 1676, the settlement ofLagunawas initiated by Domingos de Brito Peixoto. The Captaincy of Santa Catarina, initially linked toSão Paulo,was founded in 1738. It was separated from São Paulo and incorporated intoRio de Janeiro'sin 1739.[25]

From the 1740s onwards, initiated byAlexandre de Gusmão,minister of KingJohn V,Portugal began a colonisation and settlement project in southern Brazil, aiming to secure possession of the territory disputed by the Spanish. With this objective, immigration fromMadeira Islandand theAzoreswas sought. An insular defensive system was implemented. From 1748 to 1756, around five thousand Azorean immigrants began to populate the island and the coastline of the captaincy. Disputes between Portugal and Spain led to the occupation and destruction of the island of Santa Catarina by Spanish troops in 1777. TheFirst Treaty of San Ildefonsoforced the Spanish to surrender the invaded region.[25]

The Captaincy of Our Lady of the Rosary of Paranaguá was founded by the Marquis of Cascais in 1656.[26]It replaced the Captaincy of Santana,[27][28]which began at the mouth of the Paranaguá Bay and ended in the current city ofLaguna.[27][29][30][31]It is bounded by the Captaincy of Santo Amaro (part of the second section ofSão Vicente) to the north,[27]the salty waters of the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and theGovernorate of New Andalusiato the west.[32][33]These extinct states were delimited by theTreaty of Tordesillas.[32][34]

The captaincy was elevated to the status of a province with the declaration ofindependence of Brazil.The province of Santa Catarina suffered profound consequences from theRagamuffin War,which took place inRio Grande do Sulin 1835. The revolutionaries, led byGiuseppe GaribaldiandDavid Canabarro,invaded Laguna and declared theJuliana Republicin July 1839. Defeated by the troops of theEmpire of Brazil,the rebels left Laguna.[25]The new South American country had a short duration because, when its independence was proclaimed, it stopped paying theRiograndense Republicdue to lack of resources.[35]The last Ragamuffin trenches were demolished in 1840. European colonisation, especially fromGermanyandItaly,was boosted in the second half of the 19th century. The colonies of Dona Francisca, laterJoinville,were established in 1850;Blumenauin 1852; andBrusquein 1860.[25]

Republican period[edit]

The province adhered to theproclamation of the Republic.However, the appointed governor rebelled against the federal government of the time, supporting theFederalist Revolutionin 1893. Desterro became thenaval baseof the revolutionary squadron led byCustódio José de Melo.[25]

The armed conflicts spread throughout the coast of Santa Catarina. Defeated in 1894, the revolutionaries were severely punished by the loyalist troops.Hercílio Luzwas elected governor in 1894 and developed a policy for the pacification of the region and the repair of the infrastructural problems that the state had suffered. Desterro was renamed Florianópolis, in honour ofFloriano Peixoto,following a turn of events that cost the lives of the defenders of the revolution.[25]

TheContestado Warbegan in 1912. This conflict pitted the needy inhabitants of the region located between theNegro,Iguazu,Canoas,andUruguayrivers against the official forces.[36][37][38][25]José Maria de Santo Agostinho, a healer considered sacred, led the backlanders. Moreover,Paranáand Santa Catarina were disputing the region where they lived, which is why the area was called Contestado.[25]The disagreement between the two federative units and the armed conflict of thecaboclosonly ended completely in 1916. Santa Catarina's territory was invaded by the rebellious forces, which came from Rio Grande do Sul, in 1930. However, Florianópolis resisted until the triumph of therevolution throughout the country.[25]

During theSecond World War,it was necessary to address the issue ofNaziinfiltration in the state. In this area, the Brazilian military effort was not compromised by groups of Germans, following a futile attempt. Up until 1945, intervenors governed the state throughout PresidentGetúlio Vargas's administration. Since the 1950s, encouragement for the colonisation of the far west and the centre of the state byItalian-Brazilian settlershas contributed to the progress of Santa Catarina. These settlers came from Rio Grande do Sul.[25]

Geography[edit]

Topographic map of Santa Catarina

Santa Catarina is one of the three states in theSouthern Regionof Brazil. It is bordered to the north by the state ofParaná,to the south by the state ofRio Grande do Sul,to the east by theAtlantic Ocean,and to the west by theArgentine provinceofMisiones.[4]The state covers an area of approximately 95,730.69 square kilometres (37,000 sq mi), comparable toHungary,and ranking as theseventh smallest Brazilian state by area.[5][4][1]

Its territory is entirely below theTropic of Capricorn,in thesouthern temperate zoneof the planet. It follows theUTC−03:00time zone (Brasília time), three hours behindGreenwich Mean Time.[39]Its extreme points are: to the north, the Saí-Guaçu river in the municipality ofItapoá;to the south, theMampituba riverinPraia Grande;to the east, the Ponta dos Ingleses inFlorianópolis;to the west, the confluence of theUruguayandPepiri-Guazurivers inItapiranga,on the border withArgentina.[40]

Relief[edit]

Santa Catarina has 77% of its territory above 300 metres and 52% above 600 metres, making it one of theBrazilian federative units with the highest relief.Four geomorphological units, ranging from the coast to the interior, form the state's relief: the coastal lowland, the Serra do Mar, thePalaeozoicplateau, and theBasalticplateau.[8]The lowest altitudes are found in the coastal lowland, which encompasses lands located below 200 metres. In the northern part, it is quite wide, extending far inland through the valleys of the rivers that flow from the Serra do Mar. Meanwhile, towards the south, it gradually narrows.[8]

The Serra do Mar occupies the coastal lowland in the western part. In the north of the state, it forms the mountainous edge of a reasonably average plateau. It has a very different feature from what is found in other states such asParanáandSão Paulo.In Santa Catarina, it constitutes a range of mountains, with points above one thousand metres. This range is formed by a group of massifs isolated by the deep valleys of the rivers that descend to the Atlantic Ocean. Behind theSerra do Mar,the Palaeozoic plateau extends. Its flattened area is divided into spaces separated by rivers, which flow eastward. The Palaeozoic plateau decreases in altitude from north to south. In the southern portion of the state, it merges with the coastal plain, since the Serra do Mar does not extend to this region of Santa Catarina.[8]

The Basaltic plateau encompasses a significant portion of the state's territory. Comprisingbasalticsediments (lava flows), interspersed withsandstonedeposits, its eastern boundary is a mountainous edge known as theSerra Geral.In the north of the state, the edge of the basaltic plateau is situated inland. Moving southwards, it progressively approaches the coast until, at the border with Rio Grande do Sul, it starts to descend directly towards the sea. The plateau area is reasonably average and slopes gently westward. The rivers, flowing towards the neighbouring state of Paraná, have carved deep valleys into it.[8]The lands of the mixed ombrophilous forest are infertile, as are the soils of thegrasslands,which are utilised for dairy and beef cattle farming. The soils of thehumid subtropical forestare characterised by their fertility.[41]

Climate[edit]

Köppen types of Santa Catarina

According to theKöppen-Geiger climate classification system,Santa Catarina predominantly features ahumid subtropical climate(Cfa) in the coastal lowlands and the lower altitude areas of the plateau, whilst the remainder of the plateau is characterised by asubtropical oceanic climate(Cfb).[9]Both have the four seasons well-defined and a rainfall regime evenly distributed throughout the year.[9]

The humid subtropical climate(Cfa)records average temperatures of 20 °C in the lowlands and the Uruguay Valley, and 18 °C in the western extremity of the state. Conversely, the temperate subtropical climate (Cfb) sees average temperatures ranging between 16 and 18 °C. There is a significant difference between summer and winter temperatures, leading to a considerablethermal amplitudethroughout the year. Winters vary from cool to cold, with some regions experiencing about 25 days offrostannually.[9]During this period, the incursion ofpolar air massesis more common, some being stronger and more extensive, causing temperatures to fall below zero in various cities.[42][43]The majority of these cities are located in the Midwest, North Plateau, and South Plateau.[44]Notably,Bom Jardim da Serra,São Joaquim,Urubici,andUrupema,situated on the South Plateau, rank among the coldest municipalities in the country.[45]

A large part ofRio Grande do Sulis situated at latitudes lower than Santa Catarina. Despite this, it is in the higher areas of the Santa Catarina southern plateau where there is a higher occurrence ofsnowfall in Brazilduring the winter months.[9][46]The state also holds the record for the lowest temperature recorded in Brazilian territory by official bodies. The temperature reached −14 °C inCaçadoron 11 June 1952. On the other hand, the highest temperature reached 44.6 °C in Orleans on 6 January 1963. The hottest localities in the state are located in the regions of the southern coast, Itajaí Valley, and extreme west. This is because here lies the city considered the hottest in Santa Catarina,Itapiranga.In these regions, temperatures can exceed 40 °C in the summer or on other extreme occasions.[44]

Hydrography[edit]

The rivers that flow through the state's territory are part of both autonomous systems delineated by theSerra GeralandSerra do Marmountain ranges. The South Atlantic basin is made up of inter-delimited basins, such as those of theItajaí-Açu,Tubarão,Araranguá,Tijucas,andItapocurivers.[9]In the interior of the state, two basins come together to form thePlata basin:that of theParaná,whose most important tributary is theIguazu River,and that of theUruguay River.The latter has as its main tributaries thePelotas,Canoas,Chapecó,andDo Peixerivers.[9]

Fauna and flora[edit]

Araucariaforest

Fully embedded within theAtlantic Forestbiome, the original vegetation of Santa Catarina encompasses two formations:forestsandgrasslands.[9]

On the plateau, they occur in the form of mixedconiferous(Araucaria) forests with broadleaved trees and, in the lowland and foothills of the Serra do Mar, solely as broadleaved forest. The grasslands appear as scattered patches within the mixed forest. The main ones are those of São Joaquim,Lages,Curitibanos,andCampos Novos.[9]

In the fauna of Santa Catarina, about 600 species of birds,[47]150 mammals,[48]and 140 systematic denominations of amphibians are catalogued.[49]There are 1,150Lepidoptera(butterflies and moths), in addition to the registration of about 2,300vascular plants.[50][51]

Flag[edit]

The flag of Santa Catarina is arectangledivided into three horizontal bands: the upper and lower, sips, and the central, argent. In the middle you can see a sinople rhombus with the coat of arms in the center. On August 15, 1895, Santa Catarina received a flag, designed by José Artur Boiteux. It had thirteen horizontal stripes of sips and argent in a quantity similar to that of districts in the state. Inside the sinople rhombus, jalde stars symbolized the municipalities.[52]

Chapecóis the main city in the West of Santa Catarina.

Santa Catarina has one of the highest standards of living in Brazil and is a major industrial and agricultural center. The capital city, Florianópolis, has a diversified economy, being an important location for the technology industry and a major tourist destination. Commerce and services are also very strong in the capital. Cities in Florianópolis metro area, like São José, Palhoça, and Biguaçu are important and diverse industrial centers, as well as strong commercial areas. In the northeast of the state, electric-mechanical, textile and furniture industries are strong; in the west, cattle and poultry breeding predominate, while in the south it is ceramics and shellfish. The corridor between Joinville, Jaraguá do Sul and Blumenau is heavily industrialized—more than 50% of the state's industrial output is concentrated in this small, but highly developed area.[citation needed]

In agriculture, the state stands out in the production of rice, apple and onion, in addition to significant production ofsoy,maize, banana, grape, garlic,barley,wheat andyerba mate.[citation needed]

With only 1.12% of the national territory, Santa Catarina was the eighth-largest producer of maize and the eleventh-largest producer ofsoybeansin Brazil, in the year 2017. When production per unit area is considered, the State becomes the national leader in corn, with an average of 8,100 kilograms per hectare, and second in soybeans, with 3.580 kilos per hectare. In 15 years, there has been a 118% growth in corn productivity and 58% in soybean.[71]In 2019, corn production in the state reached 2.8 million tons (in 2018, Brazil was the third-largest producer in the world, with 82 million tons.[72][73]However, the annual demand for corn in the state is 7 million tons—97% is for animal consumption, especially for pigs and broilers (83.8%), as Santa Catarina has the largest pig population among Brazilian states and the second largest in poultry. The corn deficit is covered by interstate imports, mainly from Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Paraná and Goiás, and from countries like Argentina and Paraguay.[74]In soy production, in 2019 the state harvested 2.3 million tons (Brazil produced 116 million tons this year, being the largest producer in the world).[75]

The state was the second-largest rice producer in the country in 2020, second only to the Rio Grande do Sul,[76]harvesting around 1.1 million tons of the product. Total national production was 10.5 million tons this year.[77]

The three Southern States of the country are responsible for 95% of the national apple production, and Santa Catarina tops, competing with the Rio Grande do Sul. TheSão Joaquimregion is responsible for 35% of the apple planting.[78]

Santa Catarina is also a national leader in the production of onions. In 2017, it produced 630,000 tons, especially in the municipalities of Alfredo Wagner, Angelina and Rancho Queimado.[79][80]

The cultivation was concentrated in the microregions ofCanoinhas(57.6%),Curitibanos(26.5%) andXanxerê(11.5%). It is also one of the few states that cultivate wheat, due to its favourable climate. In 2019 the estimated production of the state was 150,000 tons, still small compared to the 2.3 million tons produced by both Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná. Since the country has to import these two cereals in high volume every year, the state has been trying to stimulate the production of winter grain crops with incentive programs.[84][85][86]

Santa Catarina is the largest coal producer in Brazil, mainly inCriciúmacity and its surroundings. The production of crude mineral coal in Brazil was 13.6 million tons (Mt) in 2007. Santa Catarina produced 8.7 Mt; the Rio Grande do Sul, 4.5 Mt; and Paraná, 0.4 Mt. Despite the extraction of mineral coal in Brazil, the country still needs to import about 50% of the coal consumed, as the coal produced in the country is of low quality, with a lower concentration of carbon. Brazil's coal reserves are 32 billion tons and are mainly in the Rio Grande do Sul (89.25% of the total), followed by Santa Catarina (10.41%). The Candiota Deposit (RS) alone has 38% of all national coal. As it is the coal of inferior quality, it is used only in the generation of thermoelectric energy and at the site of the deposit. The oil crisis in the 1970s led the Brazilian government to create the Energy Mobilization Plan, with intense efforts to discover new coal reserves. The Geological Survey of Brazil, through works carried out in the Rio Grande, do Sul and Santa Catarina greatly increased the reserves of coal previously known, between 1970 and 1986 (mainly between 1978 and 1983). In 2011, coal accounted for only 5.6% of the energy consumed in Brazil, but it is a strategic alternate source that can be activated when, for example, low water levels in dams reduce hydroelectric power generation. This happened in 2013, when several thermoelectric plants were shut down to maintain the necessary supply, albeit at a higher cost.[95][96]

Santa Catarina had anindustrialGDP of R$63.2 billion in 2017, equivalent to 5.3% of the national industry. It employs 761,072 workers in the industry. The main sectors are Construction (17.9%), Food (15.9%), Clothing (7.4%), Industrial Public Utility Services, such as Electricity and Water (6.9%), and Textiles (6.0%). These 5 sectors constitute 54.1% of the state's industry.[97]

The main industrial centers in Santa Catarina are Jaraguá do Sul, Joinville, Chapecó and Blumenau. The first is diversified, with factories of fabrics, food products, foundries, and the mechanical industry. Chapecó's economy is based onagribusiness.Blumenau concentrates on the textile industry (together with Gaspar and Brusque) and recently also on software. In the interior of the state, there are numerous small manufacturing centers, linked to both the use of wood in industry and the processing of agricultural and pastoral products.

InTextile industry,Santa Catarina stands out. Brazil, despite being among the five largest producers in the world in 2013, and a large consumer of textile and clothing, do not participate proportionately in global trade. In 2015, Brazilian imports ranked 25th (US$5.5 billion), and in exports, it was only 40th in the world. At 0.3% market share in the global textile and clothing trade, Brazil is constrained by uncompetitive pricing compared to producers in China and India. The gross value of production, which includes consumption of intermediate goods and services, by the Brazilian textile industry, corresponds to almost R$40 billion in 2015, 1.6% of the gross value of Industrial Production in Brazil. The South has 32.65% of production, Among the main textile clusters in Brazil, the Vale do Itajaí (SC) stand out.

In 2015, the industrial food and beverage sector in Brazil comprised 34,800 companies (not counting bakeries), the vast majority of which were small. These companies employed more than 1.6 million workers, making the food and beverage industry the largest employer in the manufacturing industry. There are around 570 large companies in Brazil, which constitute a major proportion of industry revenues.[99][100][101]Companies such asSadiaandPerdigão(which later merged intoBRF),Seara Alimentos(which today belongs toJBS),Aurora(all meat specialists),Gomes da Costa(fish and canned),Eisenbahn BreweryandHemmer Alimentos(specialist in preserves such as cucumber, beet, heart of palm, among others) are based in Santa Catarina.

An interesting collaboration between humans and wildlife has developed inLaguna(birthplace ofAnita Garibaldi,the wife and comrade-in-arms ofItalian UnificationrevolutionaryGiuseppe Garibaldi): a pod ofbottlenose dolphinsdrive fish towards fishermen who stand at the beach in shallow waters. Then one dolphin rolls over, which the fishermen take as a sign to cast their nets. The dolphins feed on the escaping fish. The dolphins were not trained for this behavior; the collaboration has been reported since 1847.[126][127]Southern right whalesalso can be seen in Laguna from the shore during the winter to spring seasons.[128]
