This article appears in Volume V23, Page 360 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIO PARDO (formerly Villa do Rio Pardo) , a
town
  of
Brazil
  in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, on the left
bank
  of the Jacuhy at its confluence with the Pardo. Area (of the
municipality
 ) 1737 sq. m. Pop. (1890) of the
municipality
 , 19,346; (1908, estimated) of the
town
 , 3500. The town is about 8o m. due west of
Porto
  Alegre, with which it is connected by
rail
  and steamer. The Jacuhy is navigable by small steamers to this
place
 , which was once an important military station and commercial centre. Its military importance has considerably declined through railway extension. The surrounding districts are fertile but only slightly cultivated, and stock-raising is its
chief
  industry. The town had its origin in a frontier fort built at this point by the Portuguese in 1751, but did not reach the dignity of a "
villa
  " until 1809.
