[1][2][3] The settlement of the Arniqueira Region began in 1990, through the disorderly growth of a sector of farms, which gradually became an urban area that is currently undergoing a process of regularization.

[6] Despite being regularized, this housing nucleus has a deficit of urban infrastructure, such as the absence of colleges and high schools, and the existence of a single Health Center that does not meet the needs of the population, which makes Areal dependent on services from other regions, such as Águas Claras, Taguatinga and Riacho Fundo.

Another region is the Economic Development Area (ADE) which concentrates large companies and industries in the Federal District.

Among them are: Indústrias Rossi, Café do Sítio, Nasa Veículos, Wholesalers and food distributors, in addition to the diversity of services.

[1] Despite the economic expansion, Arniqueira faces several problems until the present day, such as the irregularity of the land and the absence of services such as the police station and health unit, in addition to the insufficient number of school places in public education.

[11] Arniqueira is located close to 6 other administrative regions, Águas Claras, Guará, Núcleo Bandeirante, Riacho Fundo and Taguatinga.

As a result of this flat characteristic of the DF, the level curves are not accentuated, only with greater variation in the locations of the watercourses.
