Irecê is a municipality in Bahia's Chapada Diamantina region, situated at 734 meters elevation across approximately 320 square kilometers. The city serves as the administrative and economic center for its surrounding area with various public facilities and services.

Irecê was founded as a municipality in the second half of the 20th century and developed as an economic center for the region. The city grew through agricultural production and became the administrative hub for surrounding settlements.
