Sorocaba
Sorocaba, lying west of São Paulo in the valley of the Rio Tietà (92km/57mi on the Rodovia Castelo Branco), is one of the leading industrial centers in São Paulo state. It originated as a settlement on the banks of the Rio Sorocaba, founded in 1611, which grew up round a chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Ponte da Sorocaba. The real development of the town began in the 18th century, when it became the main assembly point for the herds of cattle from southern Brazil which were then driven to the goldfields of Minas Gerais.
