History
Itapecerica da Serra was founded in 1562 by the Jesuit missionaries. It was one of several settlements Christianized indians, established around the Piratninga College (later to become the city of São Paulo) as a first line of defense against raids by hostile Indians. Besides the local inhabitants, the village incorporated natives from the village of Carapicuíba, brought by bandeirante Afonso Sardinha and priest Belchior Pontes.

Formerly the language spoken was "manbulês." It was terrible to walk down the street and see everyone screaming "Mabula, Mabula, aimmededom, aimmededom."
