KNOWLEDGE OF Novo Gama
Novo Gama is a city and municipality in eastern Goiás state, Brazil. The municipality of Novo Gama was created on 19 July 1995. Its area is 314.9 square kilometers and the population density was 192 inhabitants per square kilometer. According to the 2000 census the population was 74,380 inhabitants, with 73,026 living in the urban zone and 1,354 in the rural zone.
Novo Gama is part of the Entorno, the cities in Goiás state that surround Brasília. It is 190 kilometers from the state capital of Goiânia and 40 kilometers from the Plano Piloto of Brasília, being located in the fast-growing urban conurbation south of Brasília, which includes Valparaíso de Goiás, Cidade Ocidental, and Luziânia. The main highways that provide access to the city are: DF-060, 020, 040, and BR-040.
The industrial sector is growing, with factories of bricks and tiles, milk processing, sweets and meat processing. A large part of the population works in Brasília and travels back and forth by bus. Workers often have to take two or more buses. On Sunday there is the traditional Feira do Pedregal, considered the third largest market in the Central-West region.
One of the largest industries, Incopal Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Alimentícios, was created by Argentinians who had established a doce de leite (a type of caramel spread)factory on a farm in the area. The factory now produces for the market and even exports to several countries.
Novo Gama was born in 1974, with the housing development called Parque Estrela D'Alva VI. The population increased due to the great migratory influx, mainly from the Northeast and Goiás. Because of the rocky soil the place was popularly known as Pedregal. The region was part of the municipality of Luziânia.
The project of the creation of Núcleo Habitacional Novo Gama arose from popular movements associated with the famous open-air market of Pedregal. The Núcleo Habitacional Novo Gama was created 1980, by a real estate group called Economisa. With the fast population growth Luziânia recognized the necessity of dividing the space in administrative districs, and the place was called Região Administrativa de Novo Gama. In 1995 it became independent of Luziânia.
