About the Flag

The municipality of Novo Horizonte (36,596 inhabitants in 2010; 93,170 ha) is located 410 km of São Paulo.

Novo Horizonte originates in the erection of the chapel of São José da Trinidade, built in 1895 by Joaquim Ricardo da Silva. Antonio Cardoso de Moraes, Joaquim Vaz Floriano, Joaquim Portes da Silva and Maria Pinto Cardoso offered a piece of land to found a new town, which was renamed in 1896 São José da Estiva, for the Estiva estate. In 1897, the Foundation Commission renamed the town Novo Horizonte, as a reference to the town of Belo Horizonte. The district of Novo Horizonte was established by State Law No. 993 of 2 August 1906, as part of the municipality of Boa Vista da Pedra (today, Itápolis). The municipality of Novo Horizonte was established by State Law No. 1,530 of 28 February 1916 and inaugurated on 28 October 1917.
