Bauru Brazil
It was for return of 1856 that Felicíssimo Antonio de Souza Pereira and Antonio Teixeira of the Espirito Santo, to if establishing in this region, had initiated a difficult work, that is, the falling of trees of the secular bushes, where they had raised rustic pales and they had raised casebres so that they could lodge its families. The hard steel of the tools wounded, for the first time, the just-conquered land, with the beginning of different plantations. To guarantee its property, Felicíssimo Antonio de Souza Pear tree if dislocated until Botucatu, in a delayed trip and there the ownership registered, placing in the end of the document: Bauru, 15 of April of 1856. It was, perhaps, the first time that the name of Bauru, as town, appeared in an official document.
It started, in this way, to appear the Village of modest, humble Bauru, one lugarejo, but that it had everything to expand and to changed themselves into the great city that today is. New inhabitants, relatives and known of those arrived two considered tamers the founders of our city.
Azarias Blacksmith Milk, born in the locality of you cultivate, Minas Gerais, in day 8 of December of 1866, arrived here for the first time in ends of the passed century, having returned in other occasions for, in 1888 to settle down itself definitively in Bauru with its Vicentina woman, son of another influential pioneer - João Baptist of Araújo Milk - that with it for here veio(era uncle and father-in-law of Azarias).
New colonists had appeared attracted by the fecundidade of the sertões of Bauru, to venture richness. The farming grew e, where previously they were masses of weeds, it appeared, now, the verdor of the lined up plantations.
It was the beginning of the march for the West, unclasping of a hope for that region of the State of São Paulo. Of different points of the Brazilian territory destemidos men arrived, and even though representative of another peoples who stop Brazil immigrated, to Bauru came e, thus, in that mixture of races if the teeny locality alicerçava.
Our modest village was subordinated to the city of Fortaleza(próximo de Agudos) created in 1887, whose installation, sufficiently solemn, happened in day 7 of January of 1889. However, Bauru progressed and four léguas that they separated lugarejo rising of the headquarters of the city was an impediment to its progress, mainly how much to the difficulties for the legalization of any act, for this reason a emancipador movement started to gain force.
In 1888, the Sheet City council whose Bauru city belonged, for proposal that broke of councilman Faustino Ribeiro Da Silva, then president of the city council of that city, was nominated arruador for the patrimony of Bauru the citizen Vicente Blacksmith of Would make. It fit to take the first steps that said respect to the urbanization of the village, delineating streets and determining the alignment of the houses.
The stretch of the road where already constructions existed passed to be called main street. The first houses if located in the height of blocks 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Araújo Milk. There it was the commercial center of the primórdios of Bauru.
How much to the religious life of the bauruense land, we point out that it was still in 1888 that Faustino Ribeiro Da Silva requested, to the Sheet City council, a financial aid for the start of the construction of a church in Bauru, finally raised on four beams of aroeira. In this way, the first temple was born dedicated catholic to the Espirito Santo, where the bauruenses expressed its religiosidade. Igrejinha was enters the current main door of the Cathedral and coreto, for where later it came to pass the street Baptist of Oak, visa the demolition of the lendário temple in 1913.
We remember that the first signal of religiosidade of then the village of Bauru appeared with the erguimento of a cross, in the 1886 gone ones, well opposite to the current cathedral, in then the Wide Municipal theatre or Public Garden and that, from 1923, received the denomination kept until today, that is, square Rui Barbosa. It was thus that the history of the Parish of the Espirito Santo The holy ghost had beginning.
Always fighting for Bauru, Araújo Leite and Azarias Milk in 1893 they had travelled for São Paulo and there they had looked its friends of bigger prestige when they had demonstrated to the development and the possibilities of the region of Bauru, asking for that they entered in contact with the authorities, so that a District of Peace in the city was created. Despite the serious opposition of Lençóis and Cortaleza, finally in day 30 of August of 1893 dr. Bernardino De Campos, president of the State of São Paulo, promulgated the Law nº 209 that it created a District of Peace in the population of Bauru, attached to the city of village of Cortaleza. The elections for the choice of the first judge of bauruense Peace and nothing had happened then more joust the preference that fell again into the person of João Baptista de Araújo Milk, name this sufragado for unamimity. The installation of the District happened festively in day 6 of July of 1894, in one of the rooms of the residence of Manoel Jacynto Bastos, in front to the cruise that this helps to raise it in the square Rui Barbosa, of the side of the street Gustavo Maciel.
Another important fact for the bauruense life was for happening, since the modest town would go to carry through its first elections and, in the height of the quarrels between the politicians of Bauru and of Cortaleza, a honrosa composition was proposal, with leads them of our city dissimulating to accept, possibilities, that the blood did not come to spot that event. In the Notary's office of João Peter de Oliveira the electoral section of the District functioned and the judge of Peace, Araújo Milk, was who presided over it under the rigorous looks of a intent fiscalization of both the sides. E thus arrived the end of pleito(30 of July of 1895), happily with the absence of a conflict that was foreseen, but not consummated. Proceeded the voting, six bauruenses obtain to choose themselves: Manoel Jacynto Bastos, Domiciano Silva, João Antonio Gonçalves, Jose Alves de Lima, Joaquin Peter Da Silva and Francisco Pear tree of the Ribeiro Coast. Burning hot protests are formulated by the inhabitants of the declining village of Cortaleza and even though resources appear. But, em.vão! The State Senate commands that the 7 of November if made the verification legally and the 7 of January of the following year elect ones were installed. Justice wins the great power and Bauru started to command the domain and the leadership in the city, with the conquest of the legislative one.
Therefore, with the election of the City council, as well as of intendente(prefeito) Jose Alves de Lima, they had been definitively formed the two to be able that they would go to direct the destinations of Cortaleza and Bauru. In the day of the ownership, however, another event came to provoke claims of the politicians of Cortaleza, when the bauruense councilman, João Antonio Gonçalves, took off of the pocket a paper crumpled up with a historical indication, or either, considering the change of the headquarters of the city, of Cortaleza for Bauru. Finally, after some considerandos and we point out that that Village was in complete decay and total abandonment, to the step that the futurosa population of Bauru prospered, increasing its population day the day, it indicated that the population of Bauru was raised, asking for themselves for this act the approval of the State and informed, still, that since this day, 7 of January of 1896, if it considers changed for Bauru the headquarters of the municipality, giving if knowledge the Government. After the transference of the headquarters, in all the acts practised for the City council appeared the denomination City of Bauru, even so the situation still did not count on the provação of the State Senate. This only came 1º of August of 1896, after a constant work of the politics and the campaign for the press of São Paulo, mainly of periodicals the State and, of the Paulistano Post office. They had worked for the approval in the State Senate, dr. Ezequiel Branches, that the project, dr. Cerqueira presented Cesar, this then member of the Central Commission of the PRP, and dr. Júlio of Mosque, of the Been periodical.
Thus, in that one 1º of August of 1896, then presidente(governador) of the State of São Paulo, dr. Manoel Ferraz Salles Fields, sancionava the law nº 428, of the Congress of the State and constituted of the only following e article: "the city of Espirito Santo of Cortaleza starts to call Bauru, changing itself it its headquarters for this last population.
The notice of the recognition, by the Senate, from the situation created for the councilmen of Bauru, was received in the locality of Good Jardim(perto de Agudos) for telegram of Jose of the Ribeiro Coast. The forwarding was brought the Bauru for the Domiciano courier, old slave, and had to say them: "Senate approved the change of the headquarters of the city, decreeing the law of today, transferring the headquarters".
Transcorridos some years, with Bauru being commanded by mayor Francisco Gomes Dos Santos, a notice would go to total revolutionize and to transform the destination of the city or either, the construction of a railroad that demanded the Mato Grosso, binding that immense territory to the economic life of the Nation. A suggestion happened first in 1852 and the study it was developed by means of innumerable projects. Accepting, in that chance, balances of Pablo de Frontin, on behalf of the Engineering club, the Government lowered the Decree nº 5349, of 18 of October of 1904, establishing that the Company of Railroads the Northwest of Brazil, in its definitively approved tracing, would be from the village of Bauru, that was located in the call Mouth of the Hinterland, or where it was more convenient in the prolongation of the Railroad Sorocabana. After some studies, new plans, etc., the high direction of the Company sent for Bauru the engineer Axe of Mello, formed in Belgium, in order to be initiated, immediately, the localization of the new railroad. From there for front an uncommon movement took account of modest lugarejo, seen the workmanships of the railroad that had certain priority how much to its ending.
While she was constructed lendária NOB, the tracks of the Railroad Sorocabana arrived the Bauru in July of 1905, in a marcante event, therefore our city finally was on the São Paulo for a railroad. The small village received with many parties the important improvement. While this, in the following year, more necessarily in day 27 of September of 1906, the Northwest inaugurated its first stretch between Bauru and Jacutinga(hoje Avaí). E its construction never suffered solution from continuity, despite the problems with the indians who had almost arrived to paralyze the workmanships of the influential railroad.
