Sao Bernardo do Campo was founded by João Ramalho in 1553 and was historically perceived as the first Brazilian settlement built away from the sea. In 1938, it became a part of the Santo André district, only to be separated again in 1945, as the aftermath of action by a group of entrepreneurs led by Wallace Cochrane Simonsen. The area where São Bernardo do Campo, Santo André, São Caetano do Sul, and Diadema are located was once a farm owned by Benedictine monks, who owned enslaved Africans. By the second half of the 19th century, European immigrants, mainly from Italy, started to come to the area. Italians settled in cottages in the São Bernardo do Campo’s rural area called colônias. By the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese immigrants had arrived, most of them going to the Cooperativa neighbourhood.
