Campo Grande (lit. Big Field) is the capital of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in center-western Brazil. It is located at 20°28′06″S, 54°37′21″W.
The region where the city is located was in the past a mandatory way for travellers who wanted to go through land from São Paulo or Minas Gerais to the northern Mato Grosso. During the early 1900s the railway was completed connecting Campo Grande to Corumbá, in the northwest region of the state, and to Bauru, São Paulo. Also in the beginning of the 20th century, Campo Grande became the Western Brazilian Army Headquarters, making it an important military center.
The increasing market made the city an important trade center, with a population growth of 140,000 people in 1970 up to 765,000 people in 2006.
In 1977, the State of Mato Grosso was split in two, and Campo Grande was made the capital of the new state, that consists of the southern portion of the original Mato Grosso. Today, the city has its own culture, which is a mixture of several ethinic groups, most notably immigrants from the Japanese island of Okinawa, Lebanon and Portugal, people from the Brazilian South and Southeastern Regions and natives.
