History[edit]

Colonization of the region began in the 1930s, when peasants accompanied by their families moved into the fertile lands, which they bought at low prices and with easy payment terms, and cleared the virgin forest to make way for agriculture.[5] The Sociedade Técnica e Colonizadora Engenheiro Beltrão Ltda acquired a huge area of land before 1950 in the east of the municipality of Peabiru and the northeast of Campo Mourão, between the rivers Mourão and Ivaí. The company cleared, colonized and developed coffee plantations in the region, which would become the present municipality of Engenheiro Beltrão. The land was divided by the highway built from Campo Mourão to Maringá. The company founded the town of Engenheiro Beltrão on that road, named after the company's director Francisco Gutierrez Beltrão.[4]

On 14 November 1951 the land was made the district of Engenheiro Beltrão within the municipality of Campo Mourão. On 14 December 1951 the municipality of Peabiru was split off from Campo Mourão, including the district of Engenheiro Beltrão.

Various other territorial splits and additions were made since then. As of 14 May 2001 the municipality had 6 districts: Engenheiro Beltrão, Figueira do Oeste, Ivailândia, Sertãozinho, Sussuí and Triângulo.[4]
