Princesa Isabel

Princesa Isabel is a municipality in the western highlands of Paraíba, located in the Serra do Teixeira mountain range at an elevation of around 600 meters. The territory encompasses several villages and scattered rural settlements spread across the rolling terrain.

The area developed from Bom Conselho village, which separated from Piancó in 1875 to become an independent municipality. A period of federal reorganization in the 1930s left its mark on how the region grew and developed.

The municipality maintains strong educational connections through its Federal Institute of Paraíba campus, offering technical and higher education programs to local students.

The municipality connects to neighboring regions through an existing highway network, situated roughly 420 kilometers from João Pessoa, the state capital. The highland setting makes local travel interesting, particularly for those exploring the surrounding countryside.

The region's climate is shaped by its highland position, resulting in moderate temperatures and good rainfall throughout the year. These conditions have historically influenced agricultural practices and how communities settled the area.
