Geography


Pontalina is 125 kilometers from the state capital, Goiânia. It is connected by highways BR-153 and GO-19. Another great way to reach Pontalina by car is through the newly reformed GO-040 road that connects Aparecida de Goiânia (in the metropolitan area of the capital, Goiânia) to Pontalina. Neighboring municipalities are Mairipotaba, Piracanjuba, Morrinhos, Aloândia, Joviânia, Vicentinópolis, Edéia, Edealina and Cezarina.


The climate is hot in summer and mild in winter, with an average annual temperature of 25 °C. The fauna is represented by jacaré, catitus, paca, deer, and capibara, whose preferred habitat is the Rio dos Bois. The flora has suffered with deforestation but there are still stands of jatobá, angico, aroeira, ipê and peroba rosa (Aspidosperma Spp—see Peroba rosa)



History


The origins of the town go back to the nineteenth century when cattle ranchers established themselves in the region. In 1938 what was once a district of Morrinhos became a city with the name Pontalina, derived from the proximity of the Rio dos Bois and the Meia Ponte
