The municipality of Salete (7,357 inhabitants in 2010; 17,931 ha) is located 
250 km north-west of Florianópolis.
Salete was colonized in 1925 by 
German, Italian and Ukrainian immigrants. The district of Ribeirão Grande was 
established in 1949 within the municipality of Taió, to be elevated a 
municipality renamed to Salete by State Law No. 799 promulgated on 29 December 
1961.
Salete is named for Our Lady of La Salette, whose statue was placed in 
1943 on Sanctuary Hill near a seminary ruled by the Congregation of the Holy 
Spirit.

The flag of Salete is prescribed by Municipal Law No. 155 promulgated on 25 
 November 1970.
Article 1.
The municipal flag of the municipality of 
 Salete, symbolizing its people, land and traditions, shall have the following 
 characteristics.
The municipal flag of the municipality of Salete was 
 conceived to symbolize the love of Salete people for the land and to foster an 
 ever more efficient opportunity under the protection of the patron saint, Our 
 Lady of La Salette.
Its shape is rectangular, of 20 cm in length on 14 cm in 
 width.
It shall be divided by a diagonal running from the upper hoist, the 
 upper triangle shall be white, symbolizing peace and tenderness, and the lower 
 blue, meaning loyalty to the community and the land.
In the center is placed 
 a pentagonal shield, with a white background; in base, waves representing 
 Ribeirão Grande, as well as hills and mounts.
In the central part, adjacent, 
 on the left a green coniferous tree and on the right a brown half cogwheel, 
 meaning the municipality's main sources of income. In the upper part, a crown 
 or as a tribute and dedication to the Queen of the Heavens.
