The settlement of Colombo, which is part of the Curitiba Metropolitan Region, began in 1878 when a group of Italian settlers from the municipality of Morretes moved there, receiving land and a small subsidy that the provincial government offered them to start their crops. Its economy is based on the lime and limestone extraction industries and on agriculture, with the production of fruit and vegetables, especially grapes. Among its tourist attractions are the Grape and Wine Festival and its caves, such as the Bacaetava cave. Created by State Decree No. 11 of 8 January 1890 and installed on 5 February of the same year, it was separated from Curitiba.
The natives of the municipality of Colombo are called colombenses. It is located in the Curitiba Metropolitan Mesoregion, more precisely in the Curitiba Microregion, 18 km from the state capital, Curitiba.
