Xique-Xique, Municipality on São Francisco River bank in Bahia, Brazil

Xique-Xique extends across 5,502 square kilometers in northeastern Brazil, with a population of 46,523 residents spread throughout its territory.

The first European settlement emerged in the late 1600s when gold miners established a community on Belvedere Island near present-day Xique-Xique.

The name of this municipality originates from the Pilosocereus gounellei cactus species, which grows naturally across the local landscape.

The municipality sits at 406 meters above sea level and connects to neighboring cities Barra, Itaguaçu da Bahia, and Pilão Arcado through regional roads.

Three wind power plants, Assuruá II, V, and VII, generate a combined capacity of 68 megawatts of electricity near the municipality.
