Lins

Lins is a municipality in the western part of São Paulo state, sitting at an elevation of about 437 meters (1,433 ft). The town functions as an administrative and commercial hub for its surrounding region.

The town was originally called Santo Antônio do Campestre but was renamed in 1926 to honor Manoel Joaquim de Albuquerque Lins, a former president of São Paulo state. This change marked an important moment in the local identity.

Local residents, called linenses, gather at arts and crafts fairs where you can see traditional items and products made by people from the area. These events reflect how the community values handmade work and keeping local traditions alive.

The town has an airport that connects it with other regional centers, making travel easier. Public services like a human milk bank for mothers and infants show the range of support available locally.
