Barretos, Municipality in northern São Paulo, Brazil.
Barretos is a city in northern São Paulo state, Brazil, spreading across wide plains with low hills. The streets follow a regular grid around the central Praça Francisco Barreto, from which tree-lined avenues run in all directions.
A chapel was built in 1854 at what is now Praça Francisco Barreto, drawing settlers who raised cattle. Official recognition as a municipality came in 1897, when the region gained railway connections to larger markets.
The city takes its name from Francisco Barreto, an early landowner from the colonial period. Local markets sell cattle leather and handmade saddles that recall the ranching traditions of the region.
Two highways pass through the city: SP-326 Brigadeiro Faria Lima connects it to Ribeirão Preto, while SP-425 Assis Chateaubriand heads west. Chafei Amsei Airport serves smaller aircraft and sits about 10 kilometers from the center.
The hospital hosts one of the largest cancer treatment centers in Latin America, drawing patients from several Brazilian states. Services form the main part of the local economy, while agriculture plays a smaller role than in neighboring regions.
