Jacareí, Industrial municipality in São Paulo state, Brazil.
Located in the Paraíba do Sul River valley, Jacareí extends across 464 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 567 meters above sea level.
The settlement received its initial township status in 1653, following the establishment of a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Conception by Antonio Afonso and his sons.
The name Jacareí stems from indigenous Tupi language roots, referring to the numerous alligators that once inhabited the river waters in this region.
The municipality connects to São Paulo and São José dos Campos through an extensive network of highways, railways, and maintains its own regional airfield.
Jacareí functions as Latin America's primary beer production center, housing several large-scale brewing facilities that contribute to its industrial prominence.
