Bodocó

Bodocó extends over 1,621 square kilometers of land characterized by Caatinga shrubland vegetation and sits at an elevation of 443 meters above sea level.

The settlement originated in the early 20th century when Antonio Peixoto de Barros established a community on lands belonging to Granito municipality before gaining independence in 1924.

The name derives from either an abundant aquatic plant in the region or from an indigenous tribe called Bodorocos who inhabited the area.

The municipal administration center operates from Avenida Floriano Peixoto 78 in the downtown district, offering various public services to its 38,378 residents.

The local economy combines livestock farming of goats, sheep, and cattle with honey production and cultivation of corn and manioc crops.
