A Look at History
Abadiânia officially became a municipality (a type of city or town) in 1953. However, the city you see today was not built in its first location.
In the 1960s, people living there were not happy with how hard it was to get around. So, they started building their homes along a main highway, about 18 kilometers away. This new spot is where the city of Abadiânia stands today.
