Simão Dias

Simão Dias is a municipality in western Sergipe, Brazil, covering a territory of varied terrain with hills and elevated areas. The landscape shifts from lower to higher ground, shaping how the region looks and feels.

The area was originally settled by Tapuia tribes living along the Rio Caiçá river. The municipality received its official status in 1890 following a decree from the state leadership.

The municipality celebrates its culture through annual festivals in June featuring music and traditional dances that bring the community together. These gatherings reflect the local way of life and how residents mark their identity.

The municipality is best visited when weather conditions are favorable and roads are easily accessible. Local guides and information can be found at the municipal administration office.

During the Dutch invasion of the region in the 1600s, local farmers hid their cattle in river valleys to protect them from raiders. This survival strategy shows how early residents used the landscape to keep their livestock safe.
