Camaragibe, Pernambuco, Northeast Region, Brazil


🇧🇷 Camaragibe is a city in north-eastern Brazil, in the State of Pernambuco. It is situated near Recife. The lands now belonging to the city were used as a reserve of wood, and then for sugar planting. It was populated by natives, until the arrival of Portuguese with Duarte Coelho Pereira, around 1500. After the Portuguese arrival, however, the natives were not completely driven from the area. Instead, they lived "peacefully" with the invaders.

In the 16th century the city was considered one of richest in the region until the Dutch invasion in 1645. At that time, the farm was burned to the ground by the natives.

The small city is considered among the most densely populated urban areas in the world because of the very accelerated growth that the city experienced from the emancipation until now.
