Mineiros, Agricultural municipality in southwestern Goiás, Brazil.
Mineiros is a municipality in southwestern Goiás, Brazil, spanning a large territory at an elevation of around 766 meters. The area is primarily agricultural and serves as a regional center for surrounding rural communities.
The municipality was founded in 1873 when explorers from Minas Gerais established the first settlements. It gained official municipal status in 1939, becoming administratively independent.
The city is shaped by farming traditions, where soybeans and corn are grown and cattle raising remains central to community life. These practices are woven into how people work and live together.
The municipality is accessible via BR-364 highway, located about 420 kilometers from the state capital Goiânia. Basic services are available on-site, including medical facilities for emergencies and routine care.
The municipal boundaries contain an unusual territorial feature where the municipality of Portelândia sits completely surrounded by Mineiros. This geographic arrangement is uncommon and makes the area distinctive on regional maps.
