Rio Tinto, Municipality in Paraíba, Brazil
Rio Tinto extends across 466 square kilometers of land in northeastern Brazil, containing white sand beaches and protected mangrove ecosystems.
The municipality developed around a textile company established by Swedish-Brazilian Herman Lundgren's heirs, who brought German families to work in the early 1900s.
The Santa Rita de Cássia Church stands as a central architectural element, while German-style houses throughout the city reflect its European heritage.
The municipal government provides digital services for residents, including online tax payments and document requests through their official website.
The territory includes three indigenous lands recognized by FUNAI, where 2,000 mixed-heritage indigenous people represent 10% of the local population.
