History

The history of the municipality of Ipê began in the late 19th century, around 1880, with the passage and resting of muleteers who, departing from the fields of Vacaria, headed through the Serra do Rio das Antas towards São Leopoldo.Until then, the ancient forests that covered the lands of Ipê remained almost untouched, with only indigenous people traversing the region, which was covered with vast pine groves from which they derived sustenance.

Gradually, the region began to be settled by farmers who cultivated corn and built various rudimentary houses, inhabited by Luso-Brazilians who were descendants of slaves from cattle ranches. These houses were made of beaten earth, split planks, and roofed with small boards.

Later, Italian immigrants, arriving from São Sebastião do Caí, would reach the region by boat, then travel on foot or horseback to settle in the Colony of Antônio Prado and the area that would become the Municipality of Ipê.

The Italian colonists who arrived in the area contributed to its prosperity. On December 31, 1890, the Municipal Chamber of Vacaria created the 4th District, which, due to the abundant presence of the beautiful Ipê tree, was named Vila Ipê.

As the community grew, ideas of emancipation began to surface. In 1985, the then parish priest of the São Luiz Rei Parish, Frei Augusto Denardi, initiated the formation of the Community Commission for Emancipation. On September 6, 1985, in a meeting held at the Ideal Club with local leaders and residents of Vila Ipê, Vila Segredo, and Vila São Paulo, respectively, the 4th, 9th, and 11th districts of Vacaria, the Emancipation Commission was chosen by acclamation, with the following members: Osmar Vargas dos Santos (President), Frei Casimiro Zaffonato (vice-president), Cirilo Ciotta (1st Secretary), Carlos Antonio Zanotto (2nd Secretary), Uldérico Marcon (1st Treasurer), Darci Luiz Lovatel (2nd Treasurer), Delvino Magro (Subcommission of Vila Segredo), and Luiz Antônio Salvador (Subcommission of Vila São Paulo).

On September 21, 1987, the result of the plebiscite proclaimed the victory of "YES," with 2,604 votes in favor and 465 against. On December 15, 1987, a law was promulgated by then-Governor Pedro Simon, which created the Municipality of Ipê, constituted by the districts of Vila Ipê, Vila Segredo, and Vila São Paulo, which previously belonged to the Municipality of Vacaria. The seat of the new municipality was established in Vila Ipê.

On January 1, 1989, the Municipality of Ipê was administratively installed, with Mr. Protázio Duarte Guazzelli serving as the first elected mayor.

The demonym for the residents of Ipê is "ipeense."
