Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 13, 1976.

The horse in the right half symbolises the horse races that took place in the area where the city now stands. At the place of the races a church was built and the city developed. The small wavy bars in the left half symbolise the Tietê and Tanquinho rivers. The stars symbolise the bright future of the city.

The shield is flanked by sugar cane and coffee branches, the main crops in the region.
