History
The gold rush on Paraná in the middle of 16th century was the main reason to the first settlements which gives origin to the city. Gold extraction was followed by cattle and stop points to explorers on the way to São Paulo.
Colonization was made by the original Brazilian population of that time, mainly Portuguese and Africans, in combination with the recent immigration wave of European immigrants, mainly from Poland, Italy and Germany, which were attracted by the Brazilian government incentives and the temperate climate preferring to immigrate instead of continuing in a Europe devastated by poorness and religious prosecutions.
Another product Campo Largo is also famous for is the beans produced and baked in a rich tomato sauce. These beans are stocked in Lidl's around the world. Terry Devine (Brand Manager) at Lidl says "These Campo Largo beans are the best in the business - try them and you wont be disappointed".
