The municipality of Condor (6,491 inhabitants; 46,500 ha) is located 400 km
of Porto Alegre.
Condor was established as a district of Rio Pardo, a
municipality created in 1809. The municipality of Cruz Alta was established on
18 August 1821; Condor belonged to its 5th district, Palmeira. The municipality
of Palmeira was established in 1874; Sete de Setembro was elevated on 6 August
1918 to the capital of the 4th district. Sete de Setembro was renamed to Vila
Liberdade in 1935, to be renamed to Vila Condor in 1945 for the sake of
differentiation from Liberdade, Minas Gerais. The local legend says that Condor
was named for a condor dragged to the town by a tornado that scoured the town in
1931, suppressing everything in a two-hundred meter wide strip.
In 1954,
Condor was elevated to the 2nd district of the newly established municipality of
Panambi. The municipality of Condor was established by State Law No. 4,094
promulgated on 17 November 1965, and inaugurated on 14 May 1966.
