The municipality of Turiúba (1,927 inhabitants in 2010; 15,309 ha) is located in northwestern São Paulo State, 450 km of São Paulo.

Turiúba was founded on 26 May 1926 as Vila Gonçalves by Captain Vicente Gonçalves dos Santos. Born in Minas Gerais, Gonçalves colonized the area in 1866, together with his wife Sabina Izolina da Glória, their sons and a few other people. The district of Turiúba was established by Decree-Law No. 14,334 of 30 November 1944, with land taken from the district of Buritama, municipality of Macaubal. Law No. 233 of 24 December 1948 transferred Turiúba from the municipality of Monte Aprazível to the municipality of Buritama. The municipality of Turiúba was established by Law No. 5-285 of 18 February 1959 and inaugurated on 1 January 1960, with Vila Gonçalves as its seat. Law No. 7,664 established the district of Lourdes as a municipality.

[This image has been recently replaced by a new one, showing the flag was vertically divided blue-white-green with the coat of arms in the middle. The early image must be a wrong interpretation of the photo of the flag shown on the website of the Municipal Council of Turiúba. However, the image currently shown on Wikipedia shows the flag with bright colours, not supported by the photos of the flag. The primary source of the image is the website of the Municipal Council.]

The flag of Turiúba is vertically divided blue-white-green with the municipal coat of arms in the middle.
