São José
São José · Brazil
Founded in 1750 by Azorean settlers and later the entry point for Santa Catarina's first German colonists in 1829, São José is a large city that encircles the continental edge of Florianópolis in southern Brazil. The BR-101 highway runs through it, making it a practical gateway to the state capital. Its main districts, Kobrasol and the Historic Centre, anchor a diversified economy built on technology, food processing, and construction, with hills and rural areas to the west and water within easy reach.
