Atibaia's origins date back to the Bandeirante period. Around 1665, the Bandeirante Jerônimo de Camargo settled in the area, building a farm and a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, where the first mass was celebrated on June 24th of that year, a date adopted as the city's founding. In 1769 it was elevated to a town, and in 1905 it was renamed Atibaia. With the arrival of Japanese immigrants in the 1940s and 1950s, the production of flowers and strawberries intensified. In 1978, it was recognized as a Tourist Resort.
Atibaia is known as the 'City of Flowers and Strawberries', a title that reflects its strong agricultural tradition brought by Japanese immigrants. Its main natural attraction is the Pedra Grande State Natural Monument, at 1,418 meters altitude, offering panoramic views of the entire region. The city boasts 22 cataloged waterfalls, parks with trails in the Atlantic Forest, the Schoenstatt Sanctuary, and a diverse gastronomy with Portuguese, Italian, and Japanese influences.
