Ananindeua, Administrative division in Pará, Brazil
Ananindeua is a municipality in Pará state and part of the Belém metropolitan region, just a few kilometers from the Amazon River. It spreads across neighborhoods with dense development and areas with lower housing density crossed by smaller waterways.
The municipality gained its municipal status on January 3, 1944, after growing around a station on the Bragança Railway line. This rail connection encouraged settlement and exchange with surrounding towns.
The name comes from Tupi and refers to the Anani tree, whose resin was once used to waterproof boats. This linguistic link recalls how important the river has been for people in the region.
The BR-316 highway connects the municipality to neighboring cities, and regular bus lines run throughout the metropolitan region. Local routes also reach neighborhoods near the waterways and the river islands.
The municipality includes nine river islands where communities live with basic services such as schools. These islands connect the daily life of residents to the rhythm of the water and the tides.
