Santana do Araguaia, Municipality and administrative division in southern Pará, Brazil
Santana do Araguaia is a municipality in southern Pará located near the Araguaia River, which forms a natural boundary in the region. The territory encompasses extensive areas where river landscapes and forest terrain shape the local geography.
The municipality was established on December 20, 1961, when the governor separated it from Conceição do Araguaia territory. This division created a new administrative entity in the southern part of the state.
The residents, known as araguaienses, maintain strong connections to local governance through digital platforms and community engagement initiatives.
The area is sparsely populated with considerable distances between settlements and limited urban infrastructure. Travel is easier during the dry season when roads and river crossings are more accessible.
The municipality sits at the southernmost boundary of Pará, forming a transition point between several states. This location makes it a geographical reference point for the broader region.
