São João da Baliza (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɐ̃w̃ ʒuˈɐ̃w̃ da baˈʎizɐ]) is a municipality located in the southeast of the state of Roraima in Brazil. Its population is 8,348 (2020) and its area is 4,284 km².[2] São João da Baliza was first settled in 1974 after the BR-210 highway made the area accessible. It was called São João, because three of the initial settlers were called João. Da Baliza refers to a stream near the town.[3] It became an independent municipality in 1982.[4]
