Capitão Poço

Capitão Poço is a municipality in Pará in northern Brazil, spanning a large territory crossed by several rivers. These waterways support agricultural activities and provide transportation connections throughout the region.

The settlement began in the 1940s as part of the colonization of the Amazon region. It gained official municipality status in 1961.

The local community is closely tied to citrus farming, which shapes everyday conversations and the work of many residents. This agricultural identity defines how the place looks and how people spend their time.

The area is sparsely populated with a rural character and agricultural lands broken up by waterways. Visitors should expect long distances and limited urban infrastructure in central areas.

The region is known for producing large quantities of oranges, an activity that gives the area significant economic weight. This specialization has shaped the place's reputation and identity.
