Feira de Santana
Feira de Santana is a city in Bahia, Brazil. It is the second-most populous city in the state, with a population of 740,000 according to IBGE's estimate. It is located 100 km northwest of Salvador, Bahia's capital city. These cities are connected by BR-324, a four-lane divided highway. Feira de Santana's nickname is a princesa do sertão or "the backcountry's princess". Feira de Santana takes is name in honor of two of its founders. In the 18th century, Domingos Barbosa de Araujo and his wife Anna Brandoa built a chapel on the Fazenda Sant'Anna dos Olhos D’Água. They dedicated the chapel to their Saint, Saint Anna. The city is also known as "The Gateway to the Backcountry", for its location in the Agreste zone, a geographic region that separates the wet "Zona da Mata" from the arid and desert "Sertão"; The location gradually became a common stopping point for voyagers and traders from the high sertão of Bahia and from other states on the trail to the port of Cachoeira and other important villages of Bahia. The area also developed a periodic market together with a prosperous cattle commerce. Eventually many Brazilians and foreigners began to adopt the area that would become Feira de Santanta as their home. The City began to develop with wide streets which were bordered by many commercial houses serving the area's growing population. As the area's growth accelerated, the residents created the City of Feira de Santana. Feira de Santana became the second City in Bahia and the 31st City of Brazil. Feira de Santana's important geographic location and the hospitality of its people continued to attract new residents.
