Ipameri

Ipameri is a municipality in Goiás situated at an elevation of 950 meters (3,117 feet) in the southeastern region of the state. The town serves as an agricultural center where farming and related activities form the backbone of the local economy.

The settlement began in the mid-1800s along the Vai-Vem River, originally called Entre-Rios before being renamed in 1904. This change marked a turning point as the town grew into a regional center.

The town celebrates its farming heritage through local festivals that honor the harvest of cotton, soybeans, corn, and rice. These traditions shape how people here connect with the land and mark the rhythm of the year.

The town has schools and higher education options available to residents and visitors who want to understand local development. It serves as a base for exploring rural life and farming activities in the region.

The town built the first hydroelectric station in Goiás in 1913, a project that transformed how the region accessed power. This early venture into electricity generation reflects the town's forward-thinking approach to development.
