Cabrobó is a city in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, 536 km away from the state's capital, Recife. The city is located just to the north of a section of the São Francisco River that contains many archipelagos.
The Truká people had historically occupied the Ilha da Assunção archipelago of the São Francisco River in Cabrobó municipality.[5]
Ponti, an extinct Jê language belonging to the Jeicó group, was once spoken on an island in the São Francisco River near the city of Quebrobó (Cabrobó).[6]
The main economic activities in Cabrobó are based in general commerce and agribusiness, especially farming of goats, sheep, cattle, pigs; and plantations of onions, cannabis, water melons and rice.
