Uberlândia is a Brazilian municipality in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, in the region known as Triângulo Mineiro, in the Southeast Region of the country. With 768,339 inhabitants, according to the 2026 population estimate of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), it is the second most populous municipality in the state after the state capital, Belo Horizonte, from which it is 537 kilometers away.
The region of Uberlândia was inhabited by Caiapó and Bororó Indians until the arrival of the São Paulo bandeirante Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva, in 1632. At the end of the 1880s, the then district of São Pedro de Uberabinha separated from Uberaba, but it was only in 1929 that the city came to be called "Uberlândia". After its emancipation, there was great growth of the city's urban area, and at the beginning of the 20th century Uberlândia already had a diversification of industrial branches.
The municipality's gross domestic product (GDP) is the 27th largest in Brazil, standing out in the service sector. In tourism, the city attracts visitors with its various cultural, natural and architectural attractions, such as the Mercado Municipal, the Parque do Sabiá, the Parque Municipal Victorio Siquierolli, Praça Clarimundo Carneiro, Praça Tubal Vilela, Praça da Bicota/Rosário and the famous Avenida Rondon Pacheco.
