Leopoldina

The municipality of Leopoldina covers 943 square kilometers of land and includes the central district plus five additional administrative regions: Abaíba, Piacatuba, Providência, Ribeiro Junqueira, and Tebas.

The political establishment of Leopoldina occurred on April 27, 1854, receiving its name from Princess Leopoldina de Bragança e Bourbon, daughter of Emperor Pedro II.

The Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition, Feira da Paz, and Viola and Gastronomy Festival of Piacatuba represent the main annual celebrations in Leopoldina.

Located 322 kilometers southeast of Belo Horizonte, Leopoldina maintains an average temperature of 21 degrees Celsius throughout the year with dry winters and wet summers.

During the coffee production era, Leopoldina ranked among the principal municipalities of Minas Gerais until the economic downturn of 1929 changed its trajectory.
