Itapetinga

Itapetinga, Bahia, Brazil is a municipality within the country of Bahia within the North-East area of Brazil. Its population in 2010, in line with estimates through the IBGE, changed into 74.953, so it's far the 24th most populous municipality of Bahia. Itapetinga advanced in conjunction with the "tropeirismo", as a resting factor of the cattle dealers, who have been mounting organizations and villages for the landing, before they travel toward the South.

The first nucleus of livestock dealers within the place of Itapetininga appeared in 1724, while it became observed that the pasture within the location changed into ample and the land changed into fertile for planting. To those elements there was brought up the gap to the Sorocaba town - 12 leagues - that changed into similar to a journey of a troop. About 1760, a set of Portuguese, led by way of Domingos Jose Vieira, left the first nucleus these days, district of Porto and formed some other, in a high area and surrounded by way of two streams.
