Uruburetama, Agricultural municipality in Ceará, Brazil
The municipality of Uruburetama extends across 97 square kilometers of land in northeastern Brazil, with elevation ranging from 210 to 950 meters.
In 1720, the Portuguese Captain General Bento Coelho de Morais received a land grant that established the initial settlement of what would become Uruburetama.
The name Uruburetama derives from Tupi-Guarani language elements, with urubu meaning vulture and retama meaning land, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region.
The municipality includes several districts such as Santa Luzia, Itacolomy, Retiro, and Tamboatá, connected by local roads spanning the territory.
The Mundaú River flows through the municipality, stretching 160 kilometers from its source to its mouth in the municipality of Trairi.
