A story built between tradition and progress The history of Analândia dates back to the end of the 19th century. The municipality had its origins linked to the agricultural expansion of the interior of São Paulo, a period in which the region began to attract families in search of opportunities and new development perspectives. One of the first buildings in the village that gave rise to the city of Analândia was the Igreja Matriz de Sant’Anna. Founded by Manoel Vicente Lisboa, based on a donation of land made by him, the patriarch wanted, in return, a chapel to be built in honor of Saint Anne, the family's most devoted saint. Analândia (SP) celebrates its political emancipation on June 21st. Over the years, the city consolidated its identity based on the work of its people, the strengthening of agriculture and the formation of a welcoming community, characteristics that remain present to this day.
