History
Originally named Campos Novos do Paranapanema in 1880, the municipality's name was later simplified to Campos Novos and finally changed to its current name around 1940. The region was originally inhabited by the Caingangues people and was later colonized by immigrants. The land was primarily used for coffee production.[3]
The municipality was established in 1885 and re-established through state law in 1948.[4]
