History

In the beginning of the 17th century, the arrival of the first Europeans established the town. The growing of Lages was due to the opening of roads to reach the fields of Rio Grande do Sul. The people of São Paulo and Minas Gerais were attracted to this region due to the cattle-breeding business with the gauchos.

Very primitive documents mention Lages as a stop for horse riders that were traveling from Sorocaba or São Paulo, transporting mules, horses and cattle. Correia Pinto, the founder, was a horse rider, and ran cattle groups from Lages to São Paulo.

In 1766, Lages becomes a village. In 1820 it detached itself from São Paulo to be part of the state of Santa Catarina. On May 25, 1860, it was elevated to city status. In 1960, the city's current name was adopted.

During the Revolução Farroupilha, Lages belonged to the Juliana Republic.

Lages is served by Antônio Correia Pinto de Macedo Airport and Planalto Serrano Regional Airport located in the adjoining municipality of Correia Pinto.
