Abstract
The city of São Vicente is officially considered the first Brazilian city, having been founded by Martim Afonso de Sousa, on January 22, 1532, by order of the King of Portugal, Dom João III, representing a milestone for the colonization of Brazil and the starting point of the Bandeirantes (explorers) who tamed the “sertões” (backlands). On January 22, 1502, after the arrival of the Portuguese expedition commanded by Gaspar de Lemos to Brazil, the site was named, even with the opposition of the local natives, as vila de São Vicente in honor of São Vicente de Zaragoza (in Castilian: San Vicente Mártir), one of Portugal’s patron saints [1].
