Croatá

Croatá is a municipality in the northwestern region of Ceará state in Brazil, situated at an elevation of 674 meters above sea level. The administrative center operates from the Caroba district and serves as the hub for local government functions.

This municipality was established through the administrative reorganization of Ceará state in northeastern Brazil. Its formation came from systematic territorial divisions that shaped the region's current boundaries and municipal structure.

The residents of Croatá, known as Croataenses, maintain regional traditions through community gatherings and agricultural practices in the Noroeste Cearense region.

The town hall is located in the Caroba district and serves as the main point for local administrative matters and visitor information. The elevation of 674 meters means cooler temperatures than lower regions, which is worth noting when planning a visit.

The local economy relies heavily on agriculture, which far surpasses industrial activity in economic output. This imbalance reveals the rural character of the municipality and its dependence on farming and related activities.
