History


There are various versions about the foundation and origin of Potirendaba. One of the versions tells that Manoel Ponciano had, around 1820, a farm in the region. In 1908, José Contador, a salesman, bought parts of the Três Rios farm, that belonged to Manoel Ponciano. At the time, the owners of the land were the Siqueira family, José Contador, João Francisco Pinto and the Manfredini family. A village was created with the time.

Another version tells that the brothers José and Joaquim Gonçalves de Souza were the first to arrive.

The creation of the city started in 1905, with the distribution of lands between the heirs of João Antônio de Siqueira.

In December, 1919, Potirendaba was established as a district of São José do Rio Preto. The district was elevated to city on December 26, 1925.[3]
