Senhor do Bonfim

The municipality grew into an important administrative center in northern Bahia during the 20th century. Its founding and growth are tied to the settlement and economic development of the region.

The town is named after a local religious figure venerated in the region, shaping how residents think about their community. This connection to saint veneration shows up in everyday conversations and local celebrations.

The area receives strong sunlight during certain months, creating favorable conditions for farming and outdoor activities. This light pattern shapes how local farming cycles and daily routines are organized.
