The distance to [[Goiânia]] is 153 kilometers via BR-060 / [[Guapó]] / [[Indiara]]. Municipal boundaries: *North: [[Paraúna]] and [[Jandaia]] *South: [[Turvelândia]] *East: [[Edéia]] and [[Indiara]] *West: [[Montividiu]] and [[Santo Antônio da Barra]] ===History=== The town appeared in 1964 in the territory of the municipality of [[Paraúna]]. It was created through the initiative of Benedicto Arystogogo de Mello, who had already founded the settlements of Riverlândia, in [[Rio Verde, Goiás | Rio Verde]], and Vila Brasil, in [[Santa Helena de Goiás]]. Mello negotiated with a large landowner of the region to begin selling the lots. The lands were on the banks of the Rio Verdão and near the Brasília – Acre highway, which was under construction at the time. '''Origin of the name''' The name of the town, Acreúna, comes from a combination of Acre, final destination of the highway which crosses the town, and Una, a tribute to Paraúna, the municipality where it had been located before becoming a separate municipality. It became a district in 1968 and, thanks to its rapid population growth and economic development, it separated from Paraúna in 1976 to become an independent municipality. ===Demographic and Political Data=== *Population density: 11.85 inhabitants/km² (2007) *Growth rate 2000/2007: 0.20.% *Urban population: 16,424 inhab.
