Goianápolis

History

The history of Goianápolis began when Pedro Ludovico Teixeira decided to transfer the capital of the state from Goiás to Goiânia in 1933. With the change, there was an increase in population from Anápolis to the region of Campininha where the new capital was being built. Families arrived in the region looking for land to plant and to raise pigs. Soon a new municipality was formed: Goianápolis—a combination of Goiânia and Anápolis. Goianápolis is also famous in Brazil as the birthplace of Leandro and Leonardo, one of the most famous country duos in Brazilian music.
