Sao Paulo

by AndreasK - last update: Sep 10, 2002

<center>São Paulo was founded by Jesuits in 1554, on a plateau 760 meters above sea level, for early settlers and the indians who inhabited the area. For a long time it remained a small town. Around 1850 it began to grow and became richer thanks to the highly productive coffee plantations in the state. After 1881 with the end of slavery, waves of immigrants from Italy, Japan and other countries arrived in São Paulo to work on the plantations. The income from coffee exports and the increasing population provided capital and manpower for the foundation of an industrial base. Today it is the industrial and financial center of Brasil generating over 30% of the GNP.
