Paratinga, Municipality in Bahia, Brazil.
Paratinga spans over 2,624 square kilometers in northeastern Brazil, with a population density of 12 residents per square kilometer at 420 meters elevation.
The settlement originated in 1710 as a cattle farm belonging to Conde da Torre, serving as a passage point for travelers heading to Minas Gerais or Bahia.
The municipality preserves Tupi linguistic heritage in its name, derived from 'para' meaning sea and 'ting' meaning white in the indigenous language.
The city maintains administrative offices at Rua Marechal Deodoro 221, where residents and visitors can access municipal services and information.
Located on the right bank of the São Francisco River, Paratinga changed its name twice, from Urubu to Rio Branco, before receiving its current designation in 1943.
