Araçatuba is a city in the northwest of the Brazilian state of São Paulo, about 532 kilometres from the state capital, covering roughly 1,167 square kilometres. Its name comes from the Tupi language and means abundance of araçá, a fruit tree. The city grew up during the coffee boom and later around sugarcane and cattle, and it became known nationally as the Capital of Fat Cattle because the price of cattle was negotiated in its Praça Rui Barbosa. Today services dominate the economy, and the city is a university hub for the region. The 2022 census counted 200,124 residents in the municipality.
