Campo Grande and around
Nicknamed the “brunette city” because of its chestnut-coloured earth, CAMPO GRANDE
has in the last forty years been transformed from an insignificant settlement into a
buzzing metropolis with a population of around 800,000. Founded in 1889, the city
was only made the capital of the new state of Mato Grosso do Sul in the late 1970s, since
when it has almost doubled in size. Its downtown area manages to combine sky-scraping
banks and apartment buildings with ranchers' general stores and poky little shops selling
strange forest herbs and Catholic ex votos . Reminiscent in parts of quiet southern US
cities, it's a relatively salubrious market centre for an enormous cattle-ranching region, as
well as being an important centre of trade routes from Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina and
the south of Brazil. A pioneering place, many of the early twentieth-century settlers here
were Arabs, many of whom have since gone into businesses such as restaurants and
hotels. There is also a large Japanese section of the immigrant population, which has left
its mark on the local culinary trade. The city also has a number of splendidly planned
praças and parks with large, leafy trees, bringing wild birds into the modern centre.
