Campo Grande is the capital of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the Center-West Region of the country. A historical stronghold of dividers between the south and the north, Campo Grande was founded by people from Minas Gerais, who came to take advantage of the native pasturelands and the crystalline waters of the cerrado region. The city was planned amid a vast green area, with wide streets and avenues and several gardens along its roads, and it is one of the most tree-lined capitals in Brazil; according to a survey released in 2013, 96.3% of the city's homes had trees in front of them.
The city was founded on June 21, 1872, when José Antônio Pereira arrived and settled on fertile and completely uninhabited lands of the Serra de Maracaju, at the confluence of two streams, later named Prosa and Segredo, which is now the Horto Florestal. On August 14, 1875, Pereira finally returned with his family (wife and eight children), enslaved people, and others (62 people in total), and left João Nepomuceno in charge of his ranch.
