History


In the 19th century, the lands where Pirituba now lies were occupied by coffee farms (Portuguese: fazenda), such as Fazenda Barreto (owned by Luiz Pereira Barreto), Fazenda Anastacio (owned by Anastacio de Freitas Trancoso and later by Rafael Tobias de Aguiar), and Fazenda Jaraguá.[1]


In 1885, the São Paulo Railway opened a train station in Pirituba as part of the Estrada de Ferro Santos-Jundiaí line.


When the owner of the Fazenda Barreto died in 1922, the land was split between his heirs. In the same year the farm's first share was settled, and in 1926 the second share was settled. Those two settlements, together with the initial nucleus established by the train station, become the district's core for development.[2]



Sports


Pirituba has a strong tradition in sports. One of the first rugby teams of Brazil is from Pirituba,[3] and it has one of the biggest baseball fields in the country.
