Palma ("palm") is a district of the municipality of Santa Maria in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is situated in north-eastern Santa Maria. The district's seat is located in its geographic center, 23 km (14,59 miles) from Downtown Santa Maria.
The district was created in December 17, 1997.
The district of Palma occupies an area of 95.18 km² that is equivalent to 5.31% of the municipality of Santa Maria that is 1791,65 km².
In 1997, Santa Maria lost areas with the emancipations occurring in the then districts of Itaara and Dilermando de Aguiar.
At that time, Santa Maria was being administrated by Mayor Oswaldo Nascimento of Brazilian Labour Party, who was in his second mandate. It was then that the inhabitants of the current district came together and through a peoples petition with 280 signatures, vindicated the creation of the district.
The peoples main argument was negligence from the City hall of the locality, because the City hall had not furnished the district any type of assistance. The City hall accepted the creation of this district, in that it had separated from the district of Arroio do Só, in a portion east, and from the district of Arroio Grande in a portion west.
The first district's subprefecture worked, temporarily, together to communitarian salon of Our Lady of Good Health, in Faxinal da Palma Village.
