Ipocuja, from the Tupi Guarani word “Iapajuque” meaning “dark water”, is a prosperous city in Pernambuco, in Brazil, well-known for its beautiful beaches like Marcaipe, Muro Alto and the famous, Porto de Galihnas (Port of chickens). Ipocuja was colonized in the 1950s when Caete Indians and other tribes settled here. Rolim Moura, Lacerda, and Cavalcanti families tilled the fertile lands for agriculture that during the Dutch invasion, mills were customary in Ipocuja. The region gained importance in 1645 with the involvement of Suape and Porto de Galinhas harbors in the colonial triangular trade. Porto was named after the chickens brought by African slaves imported during that period.
