This town was raised in category and was called Villa when the first governor assigned it in 1560, an activity that fell on Mem de Sá. His name was given in honor of Paul of Tarsus, the converted disciple of Jesus.

Although the first centuries did not stop being a Villa submerged in poverty, the activity of the bandeirantes who were looking for gold and diamonds aborigines to trade, were turning the village into a very busy city. When the gold deposits were exhausted, the sugar industry had already begun in the region, turning the city into a commercial center of great proportions. That brought the installation of the first industries. This brought about the construction of the railway, but within the aegis of the city the commercial center and the historical center had been separated, known as the Historical Triangle.
