Itaberaí, Municipal center in Goiás, Brazil.

Itaberaí extends across 1,471 square kilometers of central Goiás state, positioned at an elevation of 765 meters above sea level.

The settlement originated in the seventeenth century when gold prospectors established a community, initially naming the location Curralinho before its municipal status in 1924.

The name Itaberaí comes from Tupi-Guarani indigenous language, translating to River of Bright Rocks, reflecting the native heritage of the region.

The municipality maintains 24 schools, three hospitals, six medical clinics, and employs 24 doctors to serve its population of 43,622 residents.

Super Frango, a major Brazilian chicken processing facility, operates within the municipality, generating employment while supporting the local agricultural economy.
