Itumbiara is a Brazilian municipality located in the south of the state of Goiás, on the border with the state of Minas Gerais. It is a “sister city” of the Minas Gerais municipality of Araporã. It is located south of the state capital, Goiânia, about 204 kilometers away, and 411 kilometers from the federal capital, Brasília. With an area of 2,447 km², Itumbiara is the thirteenth most populous municipality in its state, with 107,970 inhabitants, according to the 2022 census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

The history of Itumbiara dates back to the early 1820s, when a road was built crossing the Paranaíba River, aiming to connect Uberaba to the center of Goiás. With the large concentration of inhabitants in the place, attracted mainly by the construction of the road, a provincial resolution created a district, named Santa Rita do Paranaíba, in 1852. With the Proclamation of the Republic of Brazil, the installation of the municipality took effect in 1909, still under the name Santa Rita do Paranaíba. The name “Itumbiara” is of Tupi origin and was a suggestion of engineer Inácio Pais Leme, the mentor of the road's construction.
