Araraquara, Regional urban center in São Paulo state, Brazil
Located in central São Paulo state, Araraquara extends across 1,004 square kilometers of highlands at 664 meters above sea level, near the Jacaré-Guaçu River.
The settlement evolved from Freguesia de São Bento de Araraquara in 1817 to become a municipality in 1832, marking regional development in the early 19th century.
Local industries, including sugarcane processing, coffee production, textiles, and furniture manufacturing, shape the economic structure of this São Paulo state community.
The city connects to São Paulo through multiple transport options, including Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport, railways, and highways that extend to neighboring municipalities.
The name derives from Tupi-Guarani language references to macaw habitats, while the Latin motto 'Altior altissimo semper' represents municipal identity.
