Colonisation of the state by settlers started in the 16th century, but was mainly confined to the coasts. After Brazil's independence from Portugal, in 1822, the area now occupied by the state was part of the Province of São Paulo. That area was transformed in a politically independent body in 1853, when the Province of Parana was created. In the 1940s, the northern part of the state was settled as a result of the expansion of the São Paulo coffee industry. The south-eastern part of the state was settled as a result of migration from Rio Grande do Sul.<br> | |||
