Morrinhos

Morrinhos is a small city and municipality in southern Goiás state, Brazil. It is a large producer of agricultural products, especially poultry and dairy products. In the beginning of the nineteenth century Antônio Correia Bueno and his brothers Inácio and Pedro, from Patrocínio, Minas Gerais arrived in the region. Only Antônio decided to stay with his family. In 1845 Captain Gaspar Martins Veiga donated the land to create the town. The first name was Nossa Senhora do Carmo but when it was elevated to a district the name was changed to Vila Bela de Morrinhos or in some documents Vila Bela do Paranaíba. In 1855 it became a municipality, including the district of Vila Bela do Paranaíba (seat) and Santa Rita do Paranaíba.
