Tauá is a municipality located in Ceará state in northeastern Brazil. It spans across several districts including Marrecas, Barra Nova, Trici, Marruás, Carrapateiras, Inhamuns, and Santa Tereza that together form its local administrative territory.
The settlement received its official town status on May 3, 1802, after being visited by Ouvidor Gregório José da Silva who elevated it to this position. This event marked the beginning of its development as an organized administrative unit in the region.
The municipality honors Our Lady of the Rosary as its patron saint with annual celebrations on October 7, marking an important religious tradition.
The town sits roughly 337 kilometers southwest of Fortaleza and can be reached via the BR-020 highway. When visiting, the local community radio stations serve as helpful resources for information about the area and regional events.
