Pombos

Pombos is an administrative division in Pernambuco state, Brazil, located in the interior region. The territory includes diverse landscapes with rivers, elevated plateaus, and valley areas that shape the local geography.

Settlement began in the 18th century when two brothers established the first sugar mills in the region. This early industrial development became the foundation for the community's later growth.

The name comes from wild pigeon hunting that once defined the area. Local celebrations today still carry echoes of this past, showing how deeply this heritage shapes community identity.

The area is easily accessible by road and located along a route connecting several nearby communities. Visitors should know that services operate on a limited schedule and the infrastructure reflects a smaller administrative region.

The territory displays two distinct soil types: reddish earth on higher ground and water-retaining soils in the valley basins. This soil diversity supports different kinds of vegetation and farming across the same region.
