Overview
Anaurilândia is a municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It is situated in the southern part of the state near the Paraná River and is characterized by a small urban settlement surrounded by agricultural land. The municipality covers approximately 3,396 square kilometres and had a population of 9,076 in the 2020 population estimate cited by the reference material. The settlement's historical background is linked to the international expansion of the Baťa shoe enterprise. Jan Antonín Baťa, who was involved in expanding the company founded by his brother Tomáš Baťa, promoted the establishment of planned settlements and agricultural communities in Brazil. Anaurilândia was one of several Brazilian towns associated with this broader Baťa colonization and development initiative. Other settlements connected with the same expansion included Mariápolis, Batatuba, Bataguassu and Batayporã. Anaurilândia's identity is therefore primarily municipal and historical rather than commercial or product-based. It is not documented in the supplied material as an apparel label, sportswear company or consumer brand, despite the original industry classification. The municipality's connection with Baťa reflects the historical role of industrial entrepreneurs in promoting land development, migration and agricultural colonization, rather than evidence that Anaurilândia itself operates as a shoe or clothing brand. The municipality lies on the north side of the Rio Paraná. Road access includes MS-395, a paved single-lane state highway that passes through the town and links it with Batayporã. Its economy and landscape are associated with rural land use and agriculture, although the supplied references do not provide enough detail to identify specific crops, employers, municipal programs or commercial sectors. The official municipal website serves as the principal institutional web presence identified for Anaurilândia. Because Anaurilândia is a municipality rather than a conventional brand, fields concerning products, brand positioning, campaigns, corporate ownership, stock-market status and commercial executives are not applicable or are unavailable in the supplied sources. The entry should consequently be read as an encyclopedia profile of a Brazilian municipality, with the historical Baťa connection providing its principal documented brand-related context.
History
Anaurilândia is a municipality in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, located near the Rio Paraná. The settlement developed within a wider program of Brazilian land development associated with Jan Antonín Baťa and the Baťa shoe company's expansion beyond its original Central European base. The company had been founded by Tomáš Baťa, Jan Antonín Baťa's brother, and its international expansion included the establishment or promotion of settlements intended to support agricultural colonization and economic development. Anaurilândia was one of a group of Brazilian settlements linked to this Baťa-era initiative. The other named examples in the supplied reference material are Mariápolis, Batatuba, Bataguassu and Batayporã. This connection is important to the municipality's historical identity, but it does not establish Anaurilândia as a footwear brand or as a subsidiary of the Baťa company. Rather, it indicates that the town's early development was associated with a colonization and settlement strategy connected to an industrial enterprise. The municipality occupies about 3,396 square kilometres and is surrounded largely by agricultural land. Its urban centre lies on the north side of the Rio Paraná. MS-395, a paved single-lane highway, passes through the town and provides a road connection to Batayporã. The reference material identifies Anaurilândia as a small settlement and reports a population of 9,076 in 2020. The supplied sources do not document a precise founding year, a formal incorporation date, detailed demographic changes, specific agricultural commodities, municipal administrations or later industrial developments. They also do not provide evidence of a continuing corporate relationship with Baťa. Accordingly, the documented history is limited to the municipality's geographic setting, its Baťa-linked origin story, its position within Mato Grosso do Sul and its road connection with neighbouring areas.
