{{unreferenced section|date=September 2020}}


Tubarão was named after a native tribal chief called Tubanharô, which means ferocious father in [[Guarani language|Guaraní]] language. Thus, it does not have any relation to the word tubarão (shark in Portuguese). The first settlement, which later became the city, was founded in 1773 by troopers as a halfway point between [[Laguna, Santa Catarina|Laguna]] and the uplands. [[Coal]] was discovered in Tubarão outskirts in the 18th century. The city emancipated from Laguna in 1870. In the following years [[Italian people|Italian]] and [[Germans|German]] [[immigrants]] came to this region and the [[Tereza Christina Railway]] was inaugurated in 1884. One of the worst natural catastrophes in Brazil took place in Tubarão, on March 28, 1974. The Tubarão River waters flooded about 80% of urban area. The [[flood]] made 199 fatal casualties and left about 45,000 people homeless.
