São Bento, Agricultural municipality in Paraíba, Brazil.

The municipality of São Bento extends across 95,830 square miles in northeastern Brazil, featuring diverse agricultural lands and residential neighborhoods.

The settlement began in the late nineteenth century when a resident named Catonho established the first homestead, leading to official municipality status in 1959.

The municipality organizes the Arraiá Shaking Network festival each July, drawing 30,000 visitors for four nights of traditional music and regional celebrations.

São Bento maintains its position as Brazil's primary hammock production center, creating employment opportunities and exporting products to multiple continents.

The Rio Piranhas flows through the municipality, supporting agricultural activities and maintaining one of the highest population densities in Paraíba's backlands.
