Coronel Fabriciano is a Brazilian municipality in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, in the Southeast Region of the country. It is located in the Rio Doce Valley and belongs to the Metropolitan Region of Vale do Aço, about 200 km east of the state capital. It covers an area of just over 220 km², of which approximately 16 km² is urban, and its population was estimated at 108,857 inhabitants in 2026.
Settlement began in the mid-19th century, associated with the flow of mule drovers, which led to the formation of the first village, in the area of today's Melo Viana. In the 1920s the locality began to be served by the EFVM railway, and the Calado Station was built, around which the urban centre that corresponds to today's Centro de Fabriciano developed. The development brought about by local industries led to the creation of the municipality, emancipated from Antônio Dias in 1948. It was home to the Acesita and Usiminas steel plants, which were essential to the city's growth. However, with the emancipation of Timóteo and Ipatinga in the 1960s, the companies came to belong to those municipalities, respectively.
