Acreúna, Municipality in western Goiás, Brazil
Acreúna is an administrative division in western Goiás located at about 650 meters elevation in the Vale do Rio dos Bois region. The landscape is shaped by extensive agricultural areas dedicated to sugarcane, cotton, corn, and soybean cultivation.
The settlement began in 1964 within Paraúna's territory under the initiative of Benedicto Arystogogo de Mello, then achieved municipal status in 1976. This transition to independence marked a turning point in local governance and development.
The name blends 'Acre', referencing the main highway connection, and 'Una' from the neighboring municipality of Paraúna, showing how the town sees itself in the regional transport network. Residents identify with this location as a crossroads between different parts of Goiás state.
Visitors will find the region dominated by farming activity with roads passing through crop fields and agricultural operations. Timing your visit outside harvest and planting seasons helps avoid heavy traffic on local roads.
The municipality has developed as a notable livestock production center with an unusually high literacy rate for a rural area. This combination of economic strength in animal husbandry alongside education investments sets it apart from surrounding communities.
