Formoso do Araguaia, Administrative division in Tocantins, Brazil.
Located in northern Brazil, Formoso do Araguaia spans over 13,423 square kilometers, making it the largest municipality by area in Tocantins state.
Portuguese expeditions first explored the region searching for gold, leading to the naming of Rio Formoso based on the river's natural features.
The descendants of enslaved people merged with indigenous Javaés communities along the riverbanks, forming the Caras Pretas settlement near the water.
The municipality provides administrative services, transparency tools, and legal documentation through its official website for residents and businesses.
The region maintains a low population density of 1.4 people per square kilometer across its vast territory at 240 meters above sea level.
