Assaré

Located at an elevation of 664 meters in northeastern Brazil, Assaré extends across 1,116 square kilometers of diverse terrain in Ceará state.

The area of Assaré remained largely uninhabited until 1775, consisting mainly of carnauba palm trees and small streams before human settlement began.

The municipality maintains strong connections to regional poetry through Patativa do Assaré, who documented local traditions through his verses.

The population of 23,478 residents benefits from local administrative services and participates in municipal elections every four years.

The name Assaré originates from Tupi-Guarani indigenous language, with the area previously known as Assaípio de Assaré until 1950.
