History
The municipality of Cascavel was emancipated on November 14, 1951, by means of State Law n° 790, separating from Foz do Iguaçu. For decades, there was a discussion as to whether this would be the correct date, as the installation of the first municipal government took place only on December 14, 1952, but in 2010 Law 5,689 put an end to the matter.
