The municipality of Entre-Ijuís (9,008 inhabitants in 2016; 55,255 ha) is 
located 450 km north-west of Porto Alegre.
Entre-Ijuís was settled in 
1873 as Passos de Ijuí. In 1923, Ernesto Cardoso de Aguiar set up a first shop 
selling food and fabric. The same year, the Passos de Ijuí bridge was a 
strategic point disputed between the Maragatos rebelled against the central 
power. Juca Raimundo and his 15 men were defeated by the Chimango party, loyal 
to the government.
The district of Entre-Ijuís was established by Municipal 
Law No. 3 promulgated on 26 August 1948; the place was named for its location 
between rivers Ijuí Grande (Greater Ijuí) and Ijuizinho (Lesser Ijuí). The 
municipality of Entre-Ijuís was established by State Law No. 8,558 promulgated 
on 13 April 1988.
