Bauru history

Origin of the Name

There are a couple theories intended to explain the origin of the Bauru name. One of most accepted was proposed by Ismael Marinho Falcão, an engineer who coexisted during many years with the Caingangue tribe, who used to inhabit the region.

According to his findings, the region was called ubaurú, because of the abundance of an herbaceous plant called ubá, used for the hampers and wicker baskets, and urú, a ground bird related to the chicken.

Others think that the name comes offrom mbai-yuru, meaning waterfall or river in strong declivity; or ybá or uru, basket of fruits; or even bauruz, as the natives who inhabited the edges of rio Batalha were called.
