Sento Sé, Administrative division in the state of Bahia, Brazil.

The municipality of Sento Sé spans across 12,698 square kilometers in northeastern Brazil, with a population density of 1.28 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Established in 1832 by provincial decree, Sento Sé underwent a complete relocation in 1974, moving 62 kilometers away due to the construction of Sobradinho Dam.

The name Sento Sé originates from the indigenous Centoce tribe, reflecting the deep connection between native populations and Portuguese settlers in this region.

Located 689 kilometers from Salvador, the municipality maintains essential services and infrastructure for its 40,989 residents through local administrative management.

The entire original settlement was moved to higher ground in the 1970s, making it one of the few Brazilian municipalities that completely changed its physical location.
