Rio Verde is a small city and municipality in the Brazilian state of Goiás. It is a fast-growing center and is the largest producer of grains in the state. The development of Rio Verde began in 1838 when the government offered a tax exemption for ten years to anyone who would settle in the area. In 1846 lands were donated for the building of the first chapel, Nossa Senora das Dores. In 1848 it was made a freguesia (parish) with the name Dores de Rio Verde. In 1882 it was elevated to a city.
