**Pinheiral** (Portuguese pronunciation: [\[piɲejˈɾaw\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Portuguese)) is a [municipality](/source/List_of_municipalities_in_Rio_de_Janeiro) located in the [Brazilian state](/source/States_of_Brazil) of [Rio de Janeiro](/source/Rio_de_Janeiro_(state)). Its population was 25,364 (2020) and its area is 77 km2 (30 sq mi).[2]

## History

The city was named after the São José do Pinheiro coffee plantation, owned by the very rich planter and slave trader José de Souza Breves (1795-1879).[3] This [estate](/source/Fazenda), on which about 500 [slaves](/source/Slavery_in_Brazil) used to work, was "one of the most opulent in Brazil". Nowadays, the [descendants of slave](/source/Afro-Brazilians) plan to transform the Park of the Ruins, only vestige of the plantation and its palace,[4] into a memory centre, including a museum and school of [jongo](/source/Jongo) (dance and musical genre of black communities).[5]
