Rianápolis

History

The settlement began in the early 1940s along the road linking Jaraguá to the Colônia Nacional Agrícola de Goiás, present-day Ceres near an airstrip. The first houses served as a resting place for travelers between the two towns. Soon there was a store and a small hotel. The settlement was first called "Campo de Aviação", after the landing strip. In 1958 it became a municipality taking the name of Rianápols, because of its location between the towns of Rialma and Anápolis
