Gurupi, Agricultural municipality in southern Tocantins, Brazil.
Gurupi is an agricultural town in southern Tocantins situated between the Araguaia and Tocantins rivers. The fertile land in this region supports farming and allows different crops to grow well.
The town emerged during the construction of the Belém-Brasília highway in the 1960s, which opened up development in northern Brazil. This major road project brought workers and economic activity to the area.
The name comes from Tupi words combining 'guru' meaning diamond with 'pi' meaning pure, and this heritage shows in how streets are named after Brazilian states and historical figures.
The Federal University of Tocantins and local colleges offer higher education and research facilities on site. Visitors will find accommodations and services oriented toward the local farming economy.
The streets follow a thoughtful system where avenues represent Brazilian states and perpendicular streets honor national historical figures. This organized grid makes the city easy to navigate and reflects deliberate urban planning.
