São José do Rio Pardo

Located at an elevation of 676 meters, São José do Rio Pardo extends across 419 square kilometers of agricultural terrain in São Paulo state.

The settlement began in 1870 when Colonel Antônio Marçal Nogueira de Barros established a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph, leading to municipal status in 1885.

Northern Italian immigrants shaped the local identity after 1888, bringing their customs and agricultural expertise to the coffee plantations of the region.

The municipality maintains connections to major cities through rail and road networks, while supporting industries in meat processing, textiles, and agricultural production.

The area produces diverse agricultural goods including oranges, coffee, cotton, rice, and beans, contributing to São Paulo state's agricultural output.
