Alga norte dog park
Alga Norte is a small community (pop: 16,000) located 20 km from the city of Maceió, capital of the state of Alagoas, in the north of Brazil. The community's name was established by a group of Portuguese and French slors as a tribute to Portuguese slors who sled into the area in the early 16th century. However, they never found the mouth of the Araruama river, which the name is derived from. The place was originally a farming and cattle ranch. After the gold mines of Serra Pelada were opened in the 1960s, Alga Norte became famous in Brazil as a centre of heavy industry. The local football (soccer) club has an annual income of over 20 million res (about 4 million US dollars). The city is considered one of the richest and most developed of the Alagoas state.
Alga Norte has an estimated population of 40,000 people. It is the most important city of the Alagoas region, which has a population of around 2 million people.
