History
 |

Naviraí's settlement began, by plane and by boat, at the beginning of the 1950s. With the construction of the road from Dourados, it began to develop more speed[citation needed]. Originally, it was named Vera Cruz, after the company, and since 1958 has had the current name. From then the city developed and became one of the most important of Mato Grosso do Sul. Within decades of foundation were three major economic phases which can be divided as follows as follows:
- phase of timber extraction and agricultural production (notably the planting of coffee);
- phase of the great cycle of wood and the modernization of agriculture (cotton cycle) and livestock;
- phase of development of agribusiness and Service (1990 onwards)[citation needed].
Development of construction
In 90 years there has been increasing economic development allied construction was crucial to Naviraí experiencing an outbreak of buildings and luxury residences located in both the central core when the outer boroughs. Thus, the urban changes contrasted with the social ills and the need for public policies to solve such problems. If not addressed Naviraí ran the risk of becoming stagnant. However, economic policies prevented the city from being lost economically. Among these investments are Copasul (refrigerators), Coopernavi / Usinavi, agribusiness, the garment industry and a strong trade and diversification.
A land conflict with Guaraní people in Naviraí has led to occasions of serious violence, including in 2015 and near to 2026
