Etymology
Etymology
The city gets its name from the Spanish mission of the Franciscan Order originally located in it. The latter was called Caaçapá in Classical Guarani, meaning "[the place] after the forest." This was due to the natives' belief that somewhere beyond the forest God, through Friar Luis de Bolaños, had made water spring out.
