History

Pre-Columbian era

The region that is now Osasco was inhabited by indigenous Tupi-Guaraní people.

Colonial Brazil

Bandeirantes lived in the region that is now Osasco, then called "Vila de Quitaúna". The famous "bandeirante" António Raposo Tavares lived there.

Early modern period

Osasco was founded in the 19th century by Italian immigrant Antônio Giuseppe Agù (currently the name of one of the main streets in Osasco). He came from commune Osasco in the province of Turin, Italy.

Immigrants from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Armenia, Lebanon, Israel and Japan came to Osasco during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, and their descendants form the bulk of Osasco's population.

Independence

Osasco became autonomous from the city of São Paulo on February 19, 1962.^[6]

Some widely known events after the autonomy

Strike of the Cobrasma factory (1968)
Explosion of the Osasco Plaza Shopping (1996).
The first Latin American flight was in Osasco, in 1910, by Dimitri Sensaud de Lavaud [pt]^[7]

Economy

Osasco was an industrial city but there was industrial decentralization to other regions and today the city is moving toward the retail and service industries.

Currently there are a number of large companies with a presence in the city, such as Natura, Coca-Cola, Carrefour, Wal-Mart, Colgate-Palmolive and many others.
