Tauá, Municipality in Ceará, Brazil
Tauá extends across multiple districts including Marrecas, Barra Nova, Trici, Marruás, Carrapateiras, Inhamuns, and Santa Tereza in northeastern Brazil.
The settlement received its official status on May 3, 1802, following the visit of Ouvidor Gregório José da Silva who elevated the site to a town.
The municipality honors Our Lady of the Rosary as its patron saint with annual celebrations on October 7, marking an important religious tradition.
Located 337 kilometers from Fortaleza along BR-020 highway, Tauá maintains three radio stations: Rádio Difusora dos Inhamuns, Rádio Trici FM, and Cultura dos Inhamuns.
In 2011, Tauá became the site of Brazil's first commercial solar photovoltaic power plant, MPX Tauá, marking a milestone in renewable energy production.
