History

Hidrolina began in 1950 with the donation of lands to the Catholic Church by two local ranchers. A chapel was built in homage to Santo Antonio Maria Claret and soon houses were built. The first name was "Lobeira" due to the existence of this tree in the region. In 1958 it was raised to district and the name changed to Hidrolina, because of the presence of many streams. In the same year it became a muncipality.
