Paranaguá is a Brazilian municipality located on the coast of the state of Paraná. Founded in 1648, it is the oldest city in Paraná and the main city on the Paraná coast.
According to the 2022 demographic census, Paranaguá has a population of 145,829 inhabitants and is the 13th largest city in Paraná by population. It has a gross domestic product of 7,200,842,000 reais (2010), the sixth largest in the state. Its port is its main economic activity.
A historic and tourist city founded in the first half of the 17th century, its main economic activity is that of a port exporting the production of Paraná, connecting the state with other regions of the country and abroad. The construction of its docks dates from 1934, when it began to rank among the main ports in Brazil, under the name Porto Dom Pedro II. A witness to more than 400 years of history, it preserves many traces of Portuguese colonisation, especially Azorean, both in its population and in its historic houses, stone slopes and churches. The municipality was created by Law No. 5 of 29 July 1648, and installed on the same date, having been separated from the state of São Paulo.
The natives of the municipality of Paranaguá are called paranaguaras. It is located 91 km from the state capital, Curitiba.
