Itaquaquecetuba
Founded between 1560 and 1563 by Jesuits led by Father José de Anchieta, Itaquaquecetuba — commonly shortened to Itaquá — is a large city in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, sitting alongside the Tietê River with mountains visible from its terrain. Once nearly deserted in the early twentieth century, it became an independent municipality in 1958 and has since developed into a significant industrial centre, connected to the wider São Paulo region by several major highways including the Ayrton Senna Highway.
