Juazeiro, formerly also known as Joazeiro, is a municipality in the state of Bahia, in the northeastern region of Brazil.

The city is twinned with Petrolina, in the state of Pernambuco. The two cities are connected by a modern bridge crossing the São Francisco River. Together they form the metropolitan region of Petrolina-Juazeiro, an urban conglomerate of close to 500,000 inhabitants.

History

It was founded in 1833 and became a city on July 15, 1878. Its name comes from the tree which grows in the region.

Organization

Its city districts are Abóbora, Carnaíba, Itamotinga, Junco, Juremal, Massaroca, and Pinhões.

Geography

Climate

The annual average temperature is 26 °C. Although it lies on the São Francisco River and the Curaçá River, Juazeiro is one of the driest places in Brazil, with a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh) that is very close to being classified as a hot arid climate (BWh). | width = auto | open = yes | single line = yes | metric first = yes | location = Juazeiro, Bahia | Jan high C = 35.3 | Feb high C = 35.4 | Mar high C = 34.9 | Apr high C = 33.4 | May high C = 30.8 | Jun high C = 29.5 | Jul high C = 29.1 | Aug high C = 30.4 | Sep high C = 33.2 | Oct high C = 35.6 | Nov high C = 36.3 | Dec high C = 35.2 | year high C = 33.3 | Jan mean C = 27.6 | Feb mean C = 27.7 | Mar mean C = 27.4 | Apr mean C = 26.5 | May mean C = 24.9 | Jun mean C = 23.6 | Jul mean C = 22.8 | Aug mean C = 23.4 | Sep mean C = 25.4 | Oct mean C = 27.4 | Nov mean C = 28.2 | Dec mean C = 27.4 | year mean C = 26 | Jan low C = 20.8 | Feb low C = 21.2 | Mar low C = 21.1 | Apr low C = 20.7 | May low C = 19.7 | Jun low C = 18.2 | Jul low C = 17.2 | Aug low C = 17.4 | Sep low C = 18.9 | Oct low C = 20.4 | Nov low C = 21 | Dec low C = 20.8 | year low C = 19.8 | rain colour = green | Jan rain mm = 69.4 | Feb rain mm = 71.1 | Mar rain mm = 96.2 | Apr rain mm = 40.9 | May rain mm = 7.9 | Jun rain mm = 2.6 | Jul rain mm = 3.2 | Aug rain mm = 1.9 | Sep rain mm = 4 | Oct rain mm = 9.9 | Nov rain mm = 46.6 | Dec rain mm = 60.6 | source = {{cite web|url=http://www.dca.ufcg.edu.br/clima/chuvaba.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180220135936/http://www.dca.ufcg.edu.br/clima/chuvaba.htm|title=PRECIPITACAO MENSAL - ESTADO DA BAHIA |publisher=Departmento de Ciencas Atmosfericas|archive-date =February 20, 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.dca.ufcg.edu.br/clima/tmaxba.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180220133036/http://www.dca.ufcg.edu.br/clima/tmaxba.htm|title=TEMPERATURA MAXIMA MENSAL E ANUAL DA BAHIA |publisher=Departmento de Ciencas Atmosfericas|archive-date =February 20, 2018}}

There are highway connections with several capitals of the Northeast and railroad connections to the coast are made by the Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica. The railroad connection ends at the fluvial port of Juazeiro.

Economy

Like its sister city Petrolina, Juazeiro has experienced great growth in the last decade due to the irrigation of the semi-arid soils with water from the São Francisco River. Fruit cultivation is important to such an extent that Juazeiro entitles itself "Capital of Irrigated Fruit", which is exported between the Petrolina Airport to United States and/or Europe. For more detailed information on the development of this fertile valley see the article on Petrolina.
