Taguatinga, Administrative region in Federal District, Brazil
Located at 1,000 meters above sea level, Taguatinga extends across 121 square kilometers and contains multiple commercial avenues and residential neighborhoods.
The region began as a small settlement in 1749 by pioneers and drovers, leading to its official establishment as an administrative area on June 5, 1958.
Originally named Villa Sarah Kubitschek, Taguatinga derives from Tupi language where 'tinga' means white, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region.
