On Sunday there is the traditional Feira do Pedregal, considered the third largest market in the Central-West region.

In 2006 there were 6,400 head of cattle and modest production of rice, bananas, sugarcane, beans, oranges, guava, manioc, and tangerines.

The population increased due to the great migratory influx, mainly from the Northeast and Goiás.

The project of the creation of Núcleo Habitacional Novo Gama arose from popular movements associated with the famous open-air market of Pedregal.

The Núcleo Habitacional Novo Gama was created in t1980, by a real estate group called Economisa.
