Encyclopedic overview
João Monlevade is a Brazilian municipality located in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, in the Southeast Region of Brazil. It is situated east of the state capital, Belo Horizonte, approximately 110 kilometers away. The municipality covers an area of 99.158 km (38.285 sq mi), of which 29.1 km (11.2 sq mi) is classified as urban area, with a population of 83,360 inhabitants in 2024.
João Monlevade was emancipated in the 20th century, specifically in 1964, with its development largely driven by the establishment of ArcelorMittal Aços Longos (formerly Companhia Siderúrgica Belgo-Mineira) in 1921. The municipality currently comprises nearly sixty neighborhoods, and it boasts various natural, historical, and cultural attractions, including the São José do Operário Mother Church, constructed in the 1940s, and the Catalan Forge, with its imposing and renowned headquarters (Fazenda Solar), built to house Jean-Antoine Félix Dissandes de Monlevade, the pioneer after whom the municipality is named.
