About the Flag

The municipality of Itajobi (14,556 inhabitants in 2010; 50,210 ha) is located 400 km of São Paulo.

Itajobi was founded on 22 June 1884 by Inácio Nantes da Costa, who offered a piece of land from the Campo Ālegre estate to establish a new settlement. A chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Apparition was erected. The arrival in 1894 of Italian, German and Syrian immigrants boosted the development of agriculture and commerce in the town. The district of Itajubi was established by State Law No. 993 of 2 August 1906, as part of the municipality of Itápolis, with its seat at Campo Alegre das Pedras. The municipality of Itajubi was established by State Law No. 1,604 of 26 October 1918, inaugurated on 4 April 1919, and renamed Itajobi by State Decree-Law No. 9,073 of 31 March 1938. The district of Nova Cardoso was established by Supplementary Law No. 2 of 24 October 1991.
