Sento Sé is a municipality in the state of Bahia in the North-East region of Brazil.

Sento Sé is located 689 kilometres (428 mi) from the state capital of Salvador.

The new Sento Sé erected in 1974, was being gradually populated by residents of the former headquarters, which plunged into the waters.

The first foreign settlers were Portuguese sugar cane producers that built mills in that area.

The construction of Sobradinho Dam obligated the moving of the city and another little communities close to the river to another place 62 kilometers away, in 1974.
