This article is about the city named simply as Juazeiro in the Brazilian state of Bahia. For the city with similar name in the state of Ceará, see Juazeiro do Norte. For the city with similar name in the state of Piauí, see Juazeiro do Piauí.
The city is twinned with Petrolina, in the state of Pernambuco. The two cities are connected by a modern bridge crossing the São Francisco River. Together they form the metropolitan region of Petrolina-Juazeiro, an urban conglomerate of close to 500,000 inhabitants.
It was founded in 1833 [1] and became a city on July 15, 1878. Its name comes from the Juá [pt] tree which grows in the region.
Organization
Its city districts are Abóbora, Carnaíba, Itamotinga, Junco, Juremal, Massaroca, and Pinhões.[citation needed]
Geography
Climate
The annual average temperature is 24.2 °C. Although it lies on the São Francisco River and the Curaçá River, the climate of the city is semi-arid and it gets an annual precipitation of only 399 mm (15.7 in.).
Transport
Presidente Dutra bridge over São Francisco River connects Juazeiro and Petrolina
There are highway connections with several capitals of the Northeast and railroad connections to the coast are made by the Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica. The railroad connection ends at the fluvial port of Juazeiro.[citation needed]
Economy
Like its sister city Petrolina, Juazeiro has experienced great growth in the last decade due to the irrigation of the semi-arid soils with water from the São Francisco River. Fruit cultivation is important to such an extent that Juazeiro entitles itself "Capital of Irrigated Fruit", which is exported between the Petrolina Airport to United States and/or Europe. For more detailed information on the development of this fertile valley see the article on Petrolina.
