Gravataí, Industrial municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Located near Porto Alegre at an elevation of 26 meters, Gravataí extends across 463 square kilometers with the Gravataí River flowing through its territory.
Portuguese settlers established Aldeia de Nossa Senhora dos Anjos in 1763, which transformed from an agricultural settlement into a significant industrial center over centuries.
The municipality maintains strong connections to its Guarani indigenous heritage while incorporating Portuguese colonial influences in its local traditions and celebrations.
The General Motors manufacturing plant, established in 2000, produces hundreds of thousands of vehicles and provides employment opportunities for local residents.
Five distinct districts compose Gravataí: the central area, Barro Vermelho, Ipiranga, Itacolomi, and Morungava, each contributing to the municipality's diverse landscape.
