Três Rios, Municipality in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Located at 467 meters elevation, Três Rios extends over 322 square kilometers at the meeting point of three major rivers: Paraíba do Sul, Piabanha, and Paraibuna.
The settlement emerged in the late 19th century as a strategic point where three rivers converged, leading to its current name and subsequent development into a municipality.
The Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro campus in Três Rios offers four undergraduate programs and contributes to the educational development of the region.
The municipality provides electronic services through its official website, including access to public legislation, employee information, and community health services.
Former president Juscelino Kubitschek designated Três Rios as 'Esquina do Brasil' due to the intersection of major highways crossing through the municipality.
