Moî'ymirim

Mogi Mirim lies on the inland plateau of São Paulo, along routes that carried travellers toward the goldfields of Goiás. Its name comes from an Indigenous designation for the river and distinguishes it from the larger Mogi Guaçu. A settlement developed on the road through the interior and became the town of Mogi Mirim in 1769, as colonial farms and traffic spread across the region.
