Ipojuca, Coastal municipality in Pernambuco, Brazil.
Located at 13 meters above sea level, Ipojuca extends across 527 square kilometers of land, combining beaches, mangroves, and sugarcane fields.
The settlement began in 1560 when Portuguese colonizers displaced Caete Indians from the southern Pernambuco coast to establish sugarcane plantations in the fertile soil.
The name Ipojuca originates from Tupi-Guarani language meaning Dark Water, reflecting the indigenous heritage deeply rooted in local traditions.
The municipality contains the Suape port complex, which handles international cargo shipping and contributes substantially to the regional economic development.
The local per capita income reached R$76,418 in 2007, positioning Ipojuca among municipalities with the highest income levels in Brazil.
