Ribeirão Preto is a Brazilian municipality, seat of the Ribeirão Preto Metropolitan Region (RMRP), in the interior of the state of São Paulo, in the Southeast Region of the country. It is located in the northeast of São Paulo state, about 310 kilometers from the city of São Paulo. It covers an area of 650.916 km², and its urbanized area of 149.42 km² is the 4th largest in the state and the 18th largest in the country.
The city was founded in 1856, at a time when the region received many people from Minas Gerais (mineiros) who had left their lands, already exhausted by mining, and sought pastures for cattle raising. At the beginning of the 20th century, the city began to attract immigrants, who worked in agriculture or in the industries opened in the 1910s. Coffee, which for some time was one of the main sources of income, declined from 1929 onward, giving way to other crops and, above all, to the industrial sector. In the second half of the 20th century, investments were increased in the areas of health, biotechnology, bioenergy and information technology, and in 2010 the city was declared a “technology hub” (polo tecnológico). These activities currently give Ribeirão Preto the 26th largest GDP in Brazil. Several highways connect Ribeirão Preto to various cities in São Paulo state, such as the Anhanguera Highway and the Cândido Portinari Highway, and there are also railways and an airport, named Doutor Leite Lopes.
