Jaraguá, Municipality in central Goiás, Brazil

Located 124 kilometers from Goiânia, Jaraguá extends across 1,888 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 626 meters above sea level.

The settlement originated in the early 18th century when prospectors established Córrego de Jaraguá, leading to the construction of Nossa Senhora da Penha church by 1748.

The Church of Nossa Senhora da Penha stands as a central religious monument in Jaraguá, representing traditional architectural elements of the region.

The municipality connects to major cities through the Belém-Brasília highway BR-153, providing essential transportation routes for commerce and travel.

Jaraguá has transformed into a major clothing manufacturing center since the 1970s, with over 400 factories producing garments distributed throughout Brazil.
