Cidade Ocidental

Cidade Ocidental is a municipality in central Goiás located near Brasília with an elevation of 952 meters. The town features residential neighborhoods and administrative buildings spread across its territory serving the surrounding region.

The town was founded in 1974 when João Batista de Souza sold part of Fazenda Aracati to entrepreneur Cleto Campelo Meireles for residential development. This establishment marked the beginning of planned settlement near the newly constructed capital.

The town displays the characteristic cerrado vegetation with short trees and shrubs that shape the landscape. Local farming traditions remain visible through rice, coffee, and sugarcane cultivation across the surrounding lands.

The town administration is located in the central district where you can find municipal services. Visiting during the drier months makes walking and exploring the streets more comfortable.

The town sits right on the border with the Federal District, serving as home to many commuters working in the capital. This strategic location has shaped its growth and continues to attract new residents.
