Translation
“A Little about the History of Limeira constitutes a collection designed to have four volumes that shall bring the records of the original documents of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, depicting the city that pioneered the issuance of the first letters of slave emancipation, as well as the export of oranges to Europe. It was in Limeira, also once known as the Brazilian Manchester, due to its strength and quality of the industrial park, that the first immigrant experience undertaken in Imperial Brazil took place, employing Europeans in the coffee culture, by the Sharecropping System. The initiative led by Senator Nicolau Pereira de Campos Vergueiro in his Ibicaba Farm, located in the fertile lands of Morro Azul and Tatuhiby, contributed for the Province’s farmers to believe in the substitution of slave labour for the free one, essential condition for the abolition of slavery and the development of the State of São Paulo.”
