Americana was founded by Confederate immigrants who fled the U.S. during the reconstruction era. They were called Confederados and were invited to Brazil by Dom Pedro II to settle the area. Later immigration by Italians, Portuguese and other groups greatly diminished the Confederado population. The coat of arms was adopted following the visit of American president Jimmy Carter in 1975 who had relatives in the Confederado community. The arms are based on the US Confederate flag and with two US soldiers as supporters.
