Independência

Independência is a municipality in the state of Ceará located in northeastern Brazil. It sits at approximately 343 meters in elevation and serves as an administrative division with road connections linking it to surrounding towns.

The town's name comes from Brazil's independence period between 1822 and 1824, when the region participated in the struggle against Portuguese rule. This historical episode shaped the identity and naming of the municipality.

The central church serves as a gathering place for religious celebrations and community events throughout the year. It reflects the Catholic faith that remains important to daily life in the town.

The town is connected to other settlements in Ceará through a network of roads that allow travel between neighboring communities. The cooler months generally offer more comfortable conditions for visiting and exploring the area.

Independência maintains its status as both a municipality and administrative division, operating under two distinct organizational structures within the Brazilian government system.
