João Pessoa, also known as the city where the sun comes first, is located at the easternmost point of the Americas at 34º 47' 38" west longitude and 7º 9' 28" south latitude. Local residents call this easternmost point Ponta do Seixas. João Pessoa is the capital of Paraíba, a state in the northeast region of Brazil and home of some of the most noted Brazilian poets and writers: Augusto dos Anjos (1884-1908), José Américo de Almeida (1887-1980) and José Lins do Rego (1901-1957). It is the state's largest and most important city, with a population of about 660,000 (about one sixth of the state's population - 2005 estimate). Its metropolitan area comprises three other satellite cities and about 270,000 people. Founded in 1585 as Filipéia, João Pessoa is the third oldest city in Brazil. It fell under Dutch occupation from 1634 to 1654, and was called Friederstadt. Portugal then reclaimed it and called it Paraíba, and in 1930 it assumed its current name, after a famous politician from the region. Tourism is one of João Pessoa's chief economic activities, together with construction, food, metalworking, and other industries. Sugar cane agriculture and related industries are also important.
