Suzano's industrial growth was boosted in the past by the availability of available sites for companies to set up and by its access to highways that lead to the interior and coast of the state.[6] The Índio Tibiriçá, Rodoanel and Henrique Eroles highways pass directly through Suzano.[7] Suzano has direct access to the Ayrton Senna Highway, the Anchieta Highway and indirect access to Mogi-Dutra and consequently to Dutra itself.[8]
History
[edit]The municipality was created by state law in 1948.[9]
Suzano has a large Japanese Brazilian population. It consists of a large downtown area surrounded by residential areas. There are three main roads that travel through the downtown section. One of them is a one-way street (northbound), and two are one-way streets (southbound). It was named after the engineer who built the train station.
The city features a medium-sized shopping mall, city hall, train station, frequent bus routes, and a small number of office and residential buildings. Suzano is an important industrial center today, although it was originally agricultural.
Many soldiers who fought in Italy's Monte Castello in World War II were from Suzano.
On March 13, 2019, there was a school shooting at the Raul Brasil School in Suzano. Eight people were killed before the two gunmen died of suicide.[10]
