Antônio Pedroso de Barros

The bandeirantes, going around the Cangica hill to the left, would have reached the highland where the Campo Largo station building on the Bragantina Railway was built.

Nearby was the prosperous farm of Antônio Pedroso de Barros and from this property the movements leading to the exploration of the region began.

In the lands located before Juqueri (today Caieiras, Francisco Morato, Franco da Rocha and Mairiporã), for those leaving São Paulo, there were properties of Notable bandeirantes such as Antônio Pedroso de Alvarenga, Brás Cardoso, Paulo Pereira, Pedro Fernandes, Mateus Luís Grou, Francisco Rodrigues Velho and his brothers and other sertanistas .

And the Mato Grosso flags were among the ones that fought the hardest: the objective was very distant and the indigenous tribes were among the most fierce and fearless.

As stated in his inventory with will (Notary of Officials of São Paulo), he died in 1652, his will being written by his brother-in-law Francisco Dias Velho, as the testator was in death.
