Icó, Colonial municipality in Ceará, Brazil

The municipality of Icó extends across 1,872 square kilometers of flat plains along the Salgado River in central Ceará state, Brazil.

Established in 1738, Icó gained prominence as a commercial center connecting the interior regions with coastal areas during the 18th century colonial period.

The Teatro da Ribeira dos Icós represents the cultural legacy of Icó, hosting performances and maintaining traditional artistic expressions of the region.

Located 375 kilometers from Fortaleza, Icó maintains administrative services through several municipal secretariats that coordinate local governance and community programs.

The municipality sits at the intersection of three Brazilian states: Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, and Paraíba, creating a regional convergence point.
