Laranjal Paulista

Laranjal Paulista is a municipality in southeastern Brazil situated at an elevation of 536 meters and covering 384 square kilometers. The town functions as an administrative center with departments overseeing agriculture, education, health, and urban planning for its residents.

The town was founded with the opening of the Sorocabana Railway station in 1884, which attracted merchants and farmers to settle in the area. This connection transformed the location into a commercial and agricultural hub.

Religious festivals held in June and July draw residents and visitors from surrounding areas together for traditional celebrations and community gatherings.

The area is accessible by road from nearby towns and cities, making it easy to reach by car or bus. Visiting during the dry season offers the most comfortable conditions for getting around the municipality.

The name comes from Ribeirão Laranjal, a stream that once served as a rest point for cattle drovers during livestock trade routes. This connection to historical cattle driving remains part of the area's identity.
