History
[edit]On June 22, 1884, Inácio Nantes da Costa and his wife established Fazenda Campo Alegre, located between the streams Papagaio, Monjolinho, Cisterna, and Queixada. By the late 19th century, German, Syrian, and Italian immigrants began arriving in the region, which was then known as Campo Alegre das Pedras.
In August 1906, the District of Peace of Itajuby was created through State Law No. 993, dated August 2, 1906. On October 26, 1918, State Law No. 1,604 established the municipality of Itajuby[3], which was officially constituted on April 4, 1919, after being separated from Itápolis.
As per its most recent territorial division in 1995, the municipality consists of two districts: Itajobi and Nova Cardoso.
Media
[edit]In telecommunications, the city was served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo.[4] In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012. The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).[5]
