About Duque de Caxias
Duque de Caxias (usually referred to simply as "Caxias") is the municipality with the largest population in the Baixada Fluminense. Along with Nova Iguaçu, Duque de Caxias polarizes the 13 municipalities of this portion of the metropolitan agglomeration of Rio de Janeiro, due to the commercial and industrial economic activity exercised in the municipality. In the municipality is located the oil refinery REDUC, the third largest refinery owned by Petrobras in Brazil. Caxias and Nova Iguaçu, however, are highly dependent on the Central Zone of the state capital, with a large part of their populations commuting between these two municipalities andRio de Janeiro.
