According to the IBGE 2015, Osasco currently has the 9th highest gross domestic product in Brazil, and the 2nd largest in the State of São Paulo.

It's considered the major urban centre of the Western portion of the Greater São Paulo. It used to be a district of São Paulo City until February 19, 1962, when Osasco became a municipality of its own.[6] The city motto is "Urbs labor", a Latin phrase that means "City work".

History

[edit]

Pre-Columbian era

[edit]

The region that is now Osasco was inhabited by indigenous Tupi-Guaraní people.

Colonial Brazil

[edit]

Bandeirantes lived in the region that is now Osasco, then called "Vila de Quitaúna". The famous "bandeirante" António Raposo Tavares lived there.

Early modern period

[edit]

Osasco was founded in the 19th century by Italian immigrant Antônio Giuseppe Agù (currently the name of one of the main streets in Osasco). He came from commune Osasco in the province of Turin, Italy.

Immigrants from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Armenia, Lebanon, Israel and Japan came to Osasco during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, and their descendants form the bulk of Osasco's population.

Independence

[edit]

Osasco became autonomous from the city of São Paulo on February 19, 1962.[6]

Some widely known events after the autonomy
