Guarantã do Norte

Guarantã do Norte is a municipality in northern Mato Grosso, spreading across a large area of land at roughly 360 meters elevation. The territory is primarily agricultural and reflects the landscape character of Brazil's Central-West region.

The municipality received official recognition on May 13, 1986, following a period of settlement driven by agricultural expansion in Brazil's Central-West region. This wave of migration fundamentally shaped the area's population and economic direction.

The name Guarantã comes from indigenous languages and shows the strong influence of native Brazilian peoples on how the region is named and its heritage. Local identity remains tied to this linguistic connection.

The area is easy to navigate and is governed from the municipal administration building on Rua das Oliveiras in the Jardim Vitória neighborhood. Basic services and facilities are organized to serve a rural community of roughly 36,000 people.

The location sits at the boundary between two different time zones that shift between UTC-4 and UTC-3 depending on the season. This time zone quirk is often overlooked but does affect daily routines.
