Analândia is a Brazilian municipality of the state of São Paulo. The population is 5,056 (2020 est.) in an area of 326 km2.[2] Its original given name in 1887 was Cuscuzeiro, later changing to Anápolis in 1890, and finally taking on the name of Analândia in 1944 to distinguish itself from a homonymous municipality. The originally referenced Cuscuzeiro is a 900 meters tall hill that has now become a local touristic attraction.[3]
