The municipality was foundedRead more
between 1560 and 1563 by Jesuits led by Father Joseph of Anchieta, among native villages near the Tietê River, beginning with the Catholic chapel of Our Lady of Acute, which was established by Father Joseph. The settlement saw little development, and was almost deserted by the early twentieth century. Until 1958 the city was a district of Mogi das Cruzes. Following the emancipation of the municipality that year, the first Mayor, Victorio Eugenio Deliberato, began a campaign of industrial development that had great geographic and economic impact on Itaquaquecetuba in the decades to come.
Today, Itaquaquecetuba is one of the 10 best Brazilian cities who had significant advances in challenges against inequality in the last 20 years, and has the second-best GDP in the region.
It ranked 199th on the list of cities with the highest homicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants. Itaquaquecetuba has a strong industrial vocation due to its geographic location: highways such as SP-66, SP-56, SP-88 and the Ayrton Senna Highway pass through the city, connecting the city to cities such as Mogi das Cruzes, Poá, Suzano, Ferraz de Vasconcelos and Arujá. The city also borders other large urban centers, such as the state capital and Guarulhos.
