ABOUT THE CITY

Who gets to São José do Rio Pardo shortly after crossing the bridge towards the downtown city, will sight on the right, a humble house where it was the dedicated Euclides da Cunha engineer, to be able to closely monitor the bridge restoration work. After a full day in charge of hundreds of men, the engineer still had breath to write.

Perhaps the evening view Pardo next to the river has been a great inspiration to compose his greatest work: “Os Sertões” (The Barrens).

In 1889 the village went to city with the beautiful and suggestive “Cidade Livre” (Free City) name of Rio Pardo. However, the devotion to the saint did return to the old name, São José do Rio Pardo.

Today with about 50 thousand inhabitants, the city follows a fast pace when we remember that we are on the inside. It seems that this characteristic comes from its inception.
