Angra dos Reis is a coastal municipality in the southern part of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. Its territory includes more than three hundred offshore islands, the largest of which is Ilha Grande. Europeans first documented the area on 6 January 1502, the feast of the Kings, which gave the place its name, and it has been continuously settled since 1556. The port declined after 1872 when railways bypassed it, then revived in the 1920s when a railway extension linked it to Minas Gerais and Goiás. Today its economy rests on a busy oil terminal, shipbuilding, commerce, fishing and tourism, and the Angra I and Angra II nuclear power stations stand nearby. The 2022 census counted 167,434 inhabitants in an area of 816.3 square kilometres.
