Cajueiro (Central northeastern portuguese pronunciation: [ˌkaʒuˈeɾʊ]) is a municipality located in the western of the Brazilian state of Alagoas. Its population is 21,331 (2020)[6] and its area is 124 km2 (48 sq mi).[7] Its name comes from the Portuguese for the cashew tree — in the 19th century, a village began to form around such a tree, near the banks of the Paraíba river.
