Jaçanã District, Administrative district in northern São Paulo, Brazil
The Jaçanã district extends across 7.8 square kilometers of land, combining residential neighborhoods with commercial areas and green spaces in São Paulo.
Initially named Uroguapira in 1870 due to regional gold rumors, the district received its current name Jaçanã in 1930 after the wattled jacana bird.
The district gained national recognition through the song 'Trem das Onze' and established the first film studio in São Paulo, Cinematographic Company Maristela, in 1949.
The district maintains numerous educational facilities, public transportation connections, and local markets that serve its population of over 90,000 residents.
Jaçanã includes sections of Cantareira Park, recognized as the largest native urban forest in the world, preserving natural spaces within the city limits.
