São João da Boa Vista (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsɐ̃w ʒuˈɐ̃w dɐ ˈboɐ ˈvistɐ]; "Saint John of the Good View" in English) is a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The population in 2020 was 91,771 and the area is 516.399 square kilometres (199.383 sq mi). The elevation is 767 metres (2,516 ft).[3]
The city was founded on June 24, 1824, when a group of miners decided to rest at the edge of Jaguari Mirim River, which was already in the state of São Paulo. Amazed by the beauty of the natural surroundings, the miners decided immediately to establish a town on the site and, to celebrate that day's saint as well as the amazing views at sunset, the city was named São João da Boa Vista. Only 14 years later, the town was declared a district. On March 24, 1859 it became a city, and on February 7, 1885 it became a judicial district, providing to its citizens all of the basic infrastructure.
According to IBGE 2010, São João da Boa Vista has 83,661 inhabitants.
