Encyclopedic overview
São Vicente (after Saint Vincent of Saragossa, the patron Saint of Lisbon, Portugal) is a coastal municipality in southern São Paulo and the first city of Brazil. It is part of the Metropolitan Region of the Baixada Santista. The population is 329,911 (2022 census) in an area of 148.151 square kilometres (57.20 square miles).
Founded in 1532, by the Portuguese explorer and colonial administrator Martim Afonso de Sousa, it is the first permanent colonial settlement established in Brazil, and the first colonial election on the American continent also took place there. Because of this, it is considered the "cradle of American democracy".
