Pojuca, Municipality in Bahia, Brazil.
Pojuca extends across urban and rural territories at 82 meters above sea level, forming part of the Greater Salvador metropolitan area.
Three families - Freire de Carvalho, Veloso, and Saraiva - established the first settlements along the Pojuca River banks in 1684, building houses and sugar mills.
The name Pojuca originates from Tupi indigenous language terms related to water and manioc, reflecting the essential elements of local life.
The municipality contains 39,972 residents as of 2020, with 30 percent of the population consisting of children and adolescents.
The train station, connecting Pojuca to Salvador since 1862, transformed into the City Memorial Cultural Space Dona Lindú in 2019.
