Ipú, Municipality in northwestern Ceará, Brazil.
Ipu stands at 760 meters above sea level in the Noroeste Cearense region, surrounded by mountains of the Chapada da Ibiapaba formation.
Originally inhabited by Tapuia indigenous people, the settlement began as Sítio São José before its establishment as a municipality in October 1827.
The municipality maintains strong religious traditions through celebrations, particularly the festival of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, which brings together local communities.
Located 257 kilometers from Fortaleza, Ipu covers an area of 831 square kilometers and operates under the UTC-3 time zone.
The region experienced economic changes during the 19th-century rubber cycle, which brought migrants seeking employment opportunities in the area.
