Pinheirinho do Vale was settled around 1920 by German,
Italian and Portuguese colonists coming from the old colonies in Montenegro,
Lajeado, Feliz, Santa Cruz, Venâncio Aires, Guaporé and Taquari.
On 24
January 1925, Pinheirino do Vale was the place of a bloody fighting involving
the Prestes Column. Lieutenant Mário Portela Fagundes and the men constituting
the rear-guard were killed.
The town is named for an isolated Brazilian pine
("pinheiro"), which was used as a landmark for crossing river Uruguai.
The district of Pinheirinho was established, within the municipality of
Frederico Westphalen, by Municipal Law No. 195 promulgated on 15 May 1958,

municipality of Palmitinho, established by State Law No. 5,087 promulgated on 8
November 1965.
