Amélia Rodrigues, Municipality in Bahia, Brazil
Located 84 kilometers from Salvador and 24 kilometers from Feira de Santana, Amélia Rodrigues covers an area of 173 square kilometers in northeastern Brazil.
The region began as part of a sesmaria granted in 1609 by Brazil's Governor Dom Diogo de Menezes to brothers Luiz Vaz and Manoel Nunes Paiva.
The municipality received its current name in recognition of an educator and poet who was born in the area when it was still known as Traripe.
The estimated population reached 24,848 inhabitants in 2024, with a population density of 143.2 inhabitants per square kilometer according to official statistics.
The first settlement started around the São Bento de Inhatá sugar mill, established by Benedictine monks after receiving the land through testament in 1622.
