Where to Stay in Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol, Federal District

What is Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol known for?

Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol is known for how it grew: in the 1990s land grabbing turned rural plots into an irregular settlement, which became a region of two housing sectors.

What is the history of Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol?

Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol was rural land until the early 1990s, part of the Setor P Sul and Setor P Norte of Ceilândia. Land began to be divided up in those years, and the subdivision intensified in the following decade, so the place grew without order and lived for years with minimal infrastructure. In 2008 the two sectors were recognised as housing extensions of Ceilândia, and a complementary law made them areas of regularisation of social interest.

Emancipation followed under governor Ibaneis Rocha. A law of 14 August 2019 made Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol an administrative region of its own. Drainage and paving were finished in Trecho 1 in 2018 and in Trecho 2 in 2023, while drainage work in Trecho 3 was still under way.
