About Campo Grande

Campo Grande (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈkɐ̃pu ˈɡɾɐ̃dʒi], lit. 'Great Field') is a city in the central and western region of Brazil, capital and the largest city of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Historically a stronghold of separatists from the North and South, the city is planned in the middle of a vast green space, with wide streets and tree-lined avenues, and is one of the most tree-lined capitals of Brazil; according to a survey released in 2013, 96.3% of the city's residences had trees in front. The city was founded on June 21, 1872, when José Antônio Pereira arrived and settled on fertile, completely uninhabited lands of the Serra de Maracaju, at the confluence of two streams – later named Prosa and Segredo – the site of the present-day Horto Florestal.
