About the Flag

The municipality of Bento de Abreu (2,674 inhabitants in 2010; 30,185 ha) is located 560 km of São Paulo.

Bento de Abreu was founded on 24 July 1926 on the banks of river Aguapeí by farmers and traders brought there by the "Estrada de Ferro Noroeste do Brasil" railway. The main colonist was the Italian Geremia Lunardelli, one of the biggest coffee growers ever in Brazil. The settlement was first named Lunardelli, a name subsequently changed for Albinópolis. The district of Alto Pimenta - the original name of the area - was established by Decree No. 5,888 of 25 April 1933. The municipality of Bento de Abreu was established by Law No. 233 of 24 December 1948, seceding from Valparaíso, and inaugurated on 27 March 1949. The municipality was named for the State Representative Bento de Abreu Sampaio Vidal (1872-1948), founder of several towns in the São Paulo hinterland, for instance, Marília.
