Complementary Schools existed in early decades of Republican Brazil in order to train teachers for rural and multi-graded schools. This article presents results from a research on the creation of Complementary Schools in the border towns Porto União (SC) and União da Vitória (PR). The towns form a single urban set, but they belong to different States. They were born from the former Porto União da Vitória (Paraná State, Brazil)), divided with the agreement called Acordo de Limites (1916) at the end of the Contestado war. The railroad tracks that linked São Paulo to the Rio Grande do Sul delimit the interstate border. This investigation was delimited between 1928 and 1938, when both towns decided invest in training teachers for the first years, by the creation of the two schools for egresses from the school groups. Primary sources from the two institutions were used in this research, preserved in local school archives; news published in newspapers; public archives of Paraná and Santa Catarina were consulted, among others. The research allowed understand the social-educational organization of both towns, the role played by the Complementary Schools in young women and boys, the construction of representations on the training for teaching, and the belonging to the mother country, the two states and the municipalities.
