São Jorge was established in 1930,
as Ponte de Guabiju by Pedro Nunes da Silva, who lived in Canhada Bonita; he
offered a plot to his friend, Father Felix Busattta, to erect a church that was
consecrated on 13 August 1939 and dedicated to St. George.
The municipality
of São Jorge was established by State Law No. 8,427 promulgated on 30 November
