Itaberaí, Municipal center in Goiás, Brazil.
Itaberaí is a municipality in central Goiás, Brazil, situated at an elevation of about 765 meters and spanning a sizable area in the state's interior. The town center serves the surrounding communities through schools, hospitals, clinics, and various local services.
The settlement began in the 1600s when gold prospectors arrived and established a community they first called Curralinho. It gained official municipal status in 1924 and has grown since then.
The name Itaberaí comes from the Tupi-Guarani language and means River of Bright Rocks, reflecting the indigenous roots of the region. This heritage remains part of how locals understand their place in central Goiás.
The town has schools and medical facilities spread throughout the area to serve residents. When visiting, it helps to know that services are distributed across the municipality rather than concentrated in one spot.
Super Frango, a major chicken processing facility, operates within the municipality and shapes the local economy. The operation creates jobs and is deeply connected to the region's farming activity.
