History


Campo Grande started as a small village founded in 1877 by farmers José Antônio Pereira and Manoel Vieira de Sousa (a.k.a. Manoel Olivério), who came from Minas Gerais just after the end of the Paraguayan War. They founded the village, known at that time as Santo Antônio de Campo Grande, near the Serra de Maracaju cliffs, at the confluence of two streams named Prosa and Segredo (Portuguese for "conversation" and "secret," respectively), whose courses now coincide with two of the city's most important avenues. In the end of 1877, the founder built the village's first church. The roughly aligned houses formed the first street, known as Rua Velha (Old Street), today Rua 26 de Agosto (26 August Street). This street ended where today one finds a square in honor of the immigrants that later came to the city.
The city started to develop relatively fast because of its privileged climate and location. These factors drew people from other regions of the country, especially the South, the Southeast and the Northeast regions. The settlement was officially recognized as a municipality by the State Government on August 26, 1899, and renamed Campo Grande.




Political changes


Throughout its history, the position of mayor has seen various changes in its selection process. During the Revolution of 1930, the mayor was deposed and replaced on the same day Getúlio Vargas became the President of Brazil. The mayor’s election process was later changed to secret ballot voting. There have been periods, such as during the Vargas Era and the military dictatorship, when the mayor was appointed by the state governor. Democratic elections for the mayor were resumed in 1985. In 2014, Mayor Alcides Bernal was impeached, and his deputy, Gilmar Olarte, took over. However, Olarte was later removed from office, and Bernal returned as mayor following a judicial decision.




Current mayor


As of 2022, the Mayor of Campo Grande is Adriane Lopes, who assumed the position after the resignation of Marquinhos Trad.
