 city, northern Paraná estado (state), southeastern Brazil. It is located west of the Tibagi River at more than 1,800 feet (550 metres) above sea level. Founded in 1930 by a small group of Japanese and German settlers, it rapidly became the commercial, political, and cultural centre of the state's northern pioneer zone. Its industries include the processing of coffee, cotton, rice, fruit, and livestock products, as well as paper milling and liquor distilling. A large soluble coffee factory serves the surrounding coffee-growing district. The State University of Londrina (1971) is located in the city, which also has a professional football (soccer) team and a sizable stadium. Londrina is connected by rail with São Paulo, 300 miles (480 km) east, and with Curitiba, the state capital, and the Atlantic port of Paranaguá by a 300-mile (480-kilometre), two-lane highway running southeastward to the coast, which also runs through Ponta Grossa. An excellent road links Londrina to Maringá to the west, and the city also enjoys good air connections. Pop. (2005 est.) 473,300.
