S?o Paulo, Brazil’s locomotive

With a large population Brazil is diverse in its culture. And S?o Paulo is the main financial center of the country and the largest in Latin America.

The arrival of the Japanese in S?o Paulo

With the agreement between the Governments of Brazil and Japan in the early 20th century, S?o Paulo had received at the time 1.5 million immigrants. It was the beginning of the largest Japanese population out of Japan.

At the time Japan and Brazil had established immigration agreements. Due to a major crisis, Japan encouraged its citizen to immigrate abroad. In Brazil, the lacked of manpower opened its door to immigrants. The arrival of the Japanese has created the largest Japanese colony of the world out of Japan.

Italian immigrants and their origin

In the Decade of 1920, the coffee was the driving force of S?o Paulo. Immigrants from various European countries fed their hopes of working in the fields of Brazil, enrich and go back to their country of origin. And S?o Paulo was the city that received Italian immigrants from different regions of Italy.

The curious preference of immigrants from Northern Italy was to opt for the countryside while the southern Italians preferred urban occupations in S?o Paulo. Thus, the South dominated the entire neighborhoods through its culture and food, preferably the quarters of cities of Bixiga, Brás and Mooca. They were immigrants from Calabria and Campania.

And first of all, the Portuguese

What is now known as the Paulista Coast, had been visited in the 16th century by Portuguese and Spanish navigators. The city of S?o Vicente founded in 1532 is known today as the town of Santos. It’s the first European settled city created on the coast of S?o Paulo, called as the Village of S?o Vicente.

In reality, the Spanish and Portuguese were seeking gold and precious stones. With this goal in mind, the Portuguese crossed the mountain range of the sea, following an ancient trail of the Indians.In 1554, after sea Plateau, as it is known, the Jesuit priests founded the S?o Paulo de Piratininga Village, led by Portuguese Manuel da Nóbrega. After that first village, many other locations would’ve been established to provide subsistence and security to Vila S?o Paulo. With the end of the 16TH century, the Portuguese had established many villages. Americo Vespucci named two of the islands as Island of S?o Vicente and the other City of Guaruja in the Santo Amaro Island on January 22 of 1502. From there to now, much has happened. Brazil becomes independent from Portugal, and S?o Paulo is today a cosmopolitan city and the flagship of the country’s economy.
