São José do Rio Preto ((:sɐ̃w̃ ʒuˈzɛ du ʁiw ˈpɾetu)) is a municipality (''cidade''/''município'') in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The city is located at the north/northwest portion of the state, 440 km (273 mi) from the city of São Paulo and 700 km (435 mi) from Brasília. With 408,258 inhabitants (IBGE/2010), is the 12th biggest city of the state and the 52nd biggest in Brazil. Founded in 1852, its history is closely linked with trade, the provision of services and agriculture. In 1912, the railroad ''Araraquarense'' arrived and stopped in the city for 20 years, transforming São José do Rio Preto in the commercial center of the region. Known as Rio Preto, is the center of a Mesoregion with 1,569,220〔Censo 2010 of the IBGE. Data found on http://www.ibge.gov.br/home/estatistica/populacao/censo2010/sinopse_tab_zip.shtm〕 inhabitants in 29,387 km². The Microregion of São José do Rio Preto has a population of 763,534 inhabitants. ==History== Before the 19th century, the region was inhabited by the Kaingang, an indigenous people, that was gradually reduced or assimilitated, due to migration, the ''bandeiras'' and miscegenation. In the 19th century, farmers from Minas Gerais settled in the region. The city was founded on March 19, 1852, by João Bernardino de Seixas Ribeiro, after Luis Antônio da Silveira donated part of his lands to the Catholic Church, in tribute to Saint Joseph, aiming the creation of a city. These lands from the farm gave birth to the city. In 1894, São José do Rio Preto was officially established as a municipality, with the emancipation from Jaboticabal. The newly created city had around 26,000 km². With the arrival of the railroad, the ''Estrada de Ferro Araraquarense'', in 1912, the city became the commercial center of the region, stocking and radiating the goods from the region and the state capital.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「São José do Rio Preto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
