Nova Lima, Municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Nova Lima extends across 428 square kilometers of terrain in southeastern Brazil, bordering the state capital Belo Horizonte and five other municipalities.
The municipality gained its official status in 1891 and underwent several name changes, from Campos de Congonhas to Congonhas de Sabará before receiving its current designation.
British mining operations in the 1830s brought 150 families from Britain, establishing the Anglican Church and introducing European influences to the local community.
The municipality maintains a population of 111,697 residents as of 2022, with an established infrastructure including postal code 34000-000 and telephone area code 31.
The Morro Velho Mine operated for 169 years until 2003, reaching depths of 2,590 meters and producing half of Brazil's annual gold output during its peak.
