#bahia

The district has 20,000 inhabitants according to the 2021 census, and a long history. In April of 1500, the Portuguese docked on the Bahian coast and first encountered the Pataxo, an Indigenous people who lived in harmony with the Atlantic jungle. In 1586, the Jesuit missionaries founded a town here by the name of Trancoso. Over the centuries that followed, the community remained isolated and rural, dedicated to fishing and agriculture, disconnected from the rest of the country until well into the 20th century.

Bahia has enjoyed a remarkable domestic run, winning each of their last three Serie A matches and only suffering one defeat since early May.
