Pinhais is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Paraná, located in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. It borders the state capital, Colombo, Quatro Barras, São José dos Pinhais and Piraquara, the last of which is the municipality from which Pinhais was separated in 1992. Although it is considered a young city, the history of Pinhais is intrinsically linked to that of Curitiba and dates back to the colonial period, when its territory was used as a route by bandeirantes and tropeiros; the founding and settlement of the region effectively began at the end of the 19th century, after the construction of the railway station and the Cerâmica de Pinhais industry, and it consolidated from the 1960s and 1970s onward with the rural exodus in the state and the metropolization of Curitiba. According to the 2022 Demographic Census, Pinhais has a territory of 60.871 km² (the smallest municipality in Paraná by area), a population of 127,019 inhabitants and a population density of 2,086.7 inhabitants/km², making it the second most populous municipality in the state.
