The city lies alongside the Parnaiba River, 220 miles upstream from the Atlantic port of Parnaiba. Founded in 1852 as the brand new capital of Piaui, it turned into originally named Therezina for the Brazilian empress Teresa Cristina. Since then, it has become the chief business centre of the center Parnaiba River valley and has textile flowers, sugar refineries, distilleries, cleaning soap factories, and sawmills. Teresina exports farm animals, hides, goat skins, carnauba wax, babassu palm oil, feijao, rice, cotton, and cassava.
