Article History

Catanduva, city, in the highlands of north-central São Paulo estado (state) Brazil, lying on the São Domingos River at 1,630 feet (497 metres) above sea level. Originally called Vila Adolfo, the settlement was given town status in 1909 and was made the seat of a municipality in 1917. Coffee and sugarcane are the principal crops of the region; oranges and corn (maize) are also grown. Catanduva’s industries process these products as well as hides and skins. Farm implements are also manufactured. The city is linked by railroads, highways, and air to the state capital, São Paulo, 210 miles (340 km) southeast, and to neighbouring urban centres such as São José do Rio Prêto, 40 miles (64 km) northwest, and Araraquara, 75 miles (121 km) southeast. Pop. (2010) 112,820.
