Ceará has been on the fore on many occasions in Brazilian history. When it was still a captaincy, Jose Martiniano de Alencar proclaimed a republic. This provoked the wrath of the Portuguese Crown, which punished the leader of the rebellion. The inhabitants twice repelled Dutch invaders (1644 and 1654), who were responsible for founding Fortaleza. Colonised by the Portuguese from the middle of the seventeenth century on, the local population took an active part in the struggle for Brazilian independence in 1822, and two years later joined the Confederation of the Equator, a rebellion inspired by republican ideals.

The coast of Ceará is home to what The Washington Post called "the best 600 miles of beach in Brazil" . The state's coastline is indeed exceptionally beautiful and long (amongst the widest in the Brazilian federation with approximately 360 miles). Ceará is also one of the most important cultural centers of Brazil, marked by popular Christian devotion and by the important standing of its intellectuals in the literature and art of the Brazilian nation. The people from Ceará are widely famous for their purity and sense of humor. The state is at the same time home to the most significant cluster of pilgrimages as well as to the majority of top-notch comedians in Brazil.
