About the Flag

The municipality of Fartura (15,324 inhabitants in 2010; 49,246 ha) is located 360 km of São Paulo.

Fartura was founded by Manoel José Viana on a plot offered by this father, Remígio José Viana, to erect a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Sorrows, which was achieved in 1887. The municipality of Fartura was established on 31 March 1891. The name of the municipality means "abundance" in Portuguese, referring to the plenty of game, fish and fruit in the region.
