About the Flag

The municipality of Cajati (28,371 inhabitants in 2010; 45,493 ha) is located 230 km of São Paulo.

Cajati was founded in the second decade of the 19th century by the Portuguese gold prospector Matias de Pontes and the native Botujuru. When canoeing on river Canha, they set up a camp on a beach but had to move upstream following a flooding episode. Botujuru died from malaria and Pontes established near a small waterfall ("cachoeira") the village of Cachoeira, on the site of today's Cajati, where he would live for the next 50 years. In 1938, the "Moinho Santista" company was granted a concession to extract limestone and apatite (a phosphate mineral) from the Morro da Mina, a dormant volcano explored in the 1930s by Theodoro Knecht. A railway line was set up to transport the ore from the left bank of river Jacupiranga to Cajati. The district of Cajati was established on 13 June 1944, as a part of the municipality of Jacupiranga. The municipality of Cajati was established by State Law No. 7,664, published on 31 December 1991 in the State official gazette, following a plebiscite organized on 19 May 1991.
