註釋In the beginning of the 19th century, around 1810 a path connecting Santo Antonio de Piracicaba to Villa Sao Carlos de Campinas was opened in a place that was still uninhabited, known as "Toledos Region". The region was covered with a dense growth of trees and a large supply of water. The soil was exceptional for cultivation and the region started to be sought by farmers. Mrs. Margarida da Graçía Martins from Santos, a widow of sergeant Francisco de Paula Martins, was one of those who around 1817 acquired a plot of uncultivated land, bordering on the north the Piracicaba river and on the northeast direction the Quilombo river. She came with her children, relatives and slaves to start a farm and a sugar mill and that was the start of a village. Mrs. Margarida donated land to Cria Paulistana for the construction of a chapel in honor of Saint Barbara, which was built in 1818, year that marked the foundation of Santa Bárbara. This is the history and architecture of the growth.
