Pombos, Administrative division in Pernambuco, Brazil

Pombos spans across 204.1 square kilometers of territory with a population density of 132.8 inhabitants per square kilometer in Pernambuco state.

The settlement originated in the 18th century when brothers José Manoel de Melo and Manoel Gomes de Assunção established the first sugar mills in the region.

The name originated from wild pigeon hunting practices in the area, which led locals to refer to celebrations as 'São João nos Pombos'.

The municipal administration operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, providing services at Avenue Joaquim Falcão, number 109.

The territory encompasses both latosol soils in elevated areas and gleysol formations in valley bottoms, supporting subperennial forest vegetation.
