Botucatu, Agricultural and industrial municipality in São Paulo, Brazil.

Located 224 kilometers from São Paulo city, Botucatu extends across 1,482 square kilometers at an elevation of 804 meters on a plateau landscape.

The settlement received town status in 1855 and became a municipality in 1876, developing from its origins as a transit point between Atlantic coast and Peru.

The Municipal Natural Park Cachoeira da Marta presents regional flora and fauna, while local festivals celebrate the agricultural heritage of the region.

UNESP, a major state university focusing on biomedical and agricultural sciences, operates as the primary employer in the municipality.

The municipal council of Botucatu issued two declarations of war against Great Britain, although no actual conflict materialized from these proclamations.
