== History == Early settlement of the area owed mainly to the construction of the Mairinque–Santos by Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana connecting Mairinque and Santos, completed in 1935. Along its extension, there were three stations in the district: Engineer Marsilac (which gave name to the surrounding neighborhood and later to its own district), Evangelista de Souza, and Rio de Campos.
