Vila Flores
Vila Flores is a municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. As of 2020, the estimated population was 3,396. History Vila Flores was located along the path of the tropeiros who transported their cattle to Lagoa Vermelha, using an old pine tree that caught fire in a controlled burn as a reference point. The area was known as Pinheiro Seco. Around 1884, the chapel of Santo Antônio de Pádua emerged, along with the construction of some houses. Its intermediate position between Alfredo Chaves (now Veranópolis) and Capoeiras (now Nova Prata) allowed it to become a resting place for carters who passed through for rest and meals. On 15 January 1898, the Alfredo Chaves Colony separated from Lagoa Vermelha and was elevated to the status of a municipality, also encompassing Monte Vêneto (Cotiporã), Bela Vista (Fagundes Varela), Vista Alegre do Prata, Pinheiro Seco (Vila Flores), Nova Bassano, and Capoeiras (Nova Prata).

Municipalities In Rio Grande Do Sul
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate. The term ''municipality'' may also mean the governing body of a given municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The English word is derived from French , which in turn derives from the Latin , based on the word for social contract (), referring originally to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy). A municipality can be any political jurisdiction, from a sovereign state such as the Principality of Monaco, to a small village such as West Hampton Dunes, New York.

Grape And Wine Region
A grape is a fruit, botanically a berry, of the deciduous woody vines of the flowering plant genus ''Vitis''. Grapes are a non- climacteric type of fruit, generally occurring in clusters. The cultivation of grapes began approximately 8,000 years ago, and the fruit has been used as human food throughout its history. Eaten fresh or in dried form (as raisins, currants and sultanas), grapes also hold cultural significance in many parts of the world, particularly for their role in winemaking. Other grape-derived products include various types of jam, juice, vinegar and oil. History The Middle East is generally described as the homeland of grapes and the cultivation of this plant began there 6,000–8,000 years ago. Yeast, one of the earliest domesticated microorganisms, occurs naturally on the skins of grapes, leading to the discovery of alcoholic drinks such as wine. The earliest archeological evidence for a dominant position of wine-making in human culture dates from 8,0 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
