The municipality of Maquiné (6,749 inhabitants in 2016; 62,212 ha) is located
150 km north-east of Porto Alegre.
Maquiné was first settled in 1840 by
Antônio Leonardo Alves, from the Abreu lineage. The first church was erected in
1900. In 1914, the establishment of a small port near Leonardo's fazenda caused
the place's name to be changed to Porto Cachoeira (Waterfall's Port). The
adoption in 1938 of the name of General Daltro Filho caused political troubles,
which were settled in 1940 by renaming the town to the more neutral name of the
river, Maquiné.
