Article History
Anápolis, Brazil
Anápolis, Brazil

Anápolis, city, south-central Goiás estado (state), south-central Brazil. It is located on the Corumbá River at 3,182 feet (970 metres) above sea level.

It was given city status in 1907. Today it is a rapidly growing regional centre serving an agricultural development zone near the Mato Grosso de Goiás forest. Anápolis is a busy commercial centre with attractive squares, such as Praça Bom Jesus, and is the northwestern terminus of railroads leading inland from coastal Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It has an airport and is also strategically situated on the highway linking Brasília, the national capital, with Goiânia, the state capital, and with São Paulo. The region’s livestock, xarque (jerked beef), coffee, soybeans, corn (maize), wheat, and minerals (rock crystals, nickel, copper, manganese, phosphate, and tin) are sent to Brazil’s largest urban markets. Pop. (2010) 334,613.
