Early history
[edit | edit source]The name Urupema (with variations including urupemba, arupemba, gurupema and jurupema) refers to a sieve made of vegetal fiber and used domestically to sieve cornmeal and cassava flour and in fishing.
The city's first inhabitants were attracted by the abundance of resources provided by the local Paraná pines, a coniferous tree which, at the time, was the main source of food for native populations during fall and winter. Unlike Amerindians in North America who used the fur of bisons and moose, the natives of Brazil did not have any similar large animals available.
Urupema became a municipality on 4 January 1988. Its patron saint is Saint Anne.
Climate
[edit | edit source]Urupema has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb).

It is also the coldest in terms of absolute minimums together with Bom Jardim da Serra.[6][7] Snowfall occurs during the winter and less frequently in fall and spring.
