'''Santos''' ({{IPA|pt|ˈsɐ̃tus|-|Br-Santos.ogg}}, ''Saints''), officially '''Municipality of Estância Balneária de Santos''', is a city and [[Municipalities of Brazil|municipality]] in the [[Brazil]]ian [[States of Brazil|state]] of [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]], founded in 1546 by the Portuguese nobleman [[Brás Cubas]].<ref name=Santos>{{cite web|title=The City of Santos|url=http://www.seemannsmission.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=306&Itemid=533&lang=en|website=www.seemannsmission.org|publisher=Adelar Schünke and Lukas Müller|access-date=18 September 2014}}</ref> It is located mostly on the [[São Vicente Island (São Paulo, Brazil)|island of São Vicente]], which harbors both the city of Santos and the city of [[São Vicente, São Paulo|São Vicente]], and partially on the mainland. It is the main city in the metropolitan region of [[Baixada Santista]].<ref>[http://www.al.sp.gov.br/repositorio/legislacao/lei.complementar/1996/lei.complementar-815-30.07.1996.html Assembleia Legislativa do Estado de São Paulo, Lei Complementar Nº 815]</ref> The population is 440,965 (2025 est.) in an area of {{convert|280.67|sqkm|sqmi|abbr=on}}.<ref name=ibge>[http://cod.ibge.gov.br/2322H Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística]</ref> The city is home to the Coffee Museum, where world coffee prices were once negotiated. There is also a [[Soccer|football]] memorial, dedicated to the city's greatest players, which includes [[Pelé]], who spent the majority of his career with [[Santos FC|Santos Futebol Clube]]. Its beachfront garden, {{Convert|5,335|m|yd|abbr=on}} in length, figures in ''[[Guinness World Records]]'' as the largest beachfront garden in the world.

==History==
{{expand section|date=June 2013}}

===Early colonization===
There are reports about the island of São Vicente just two years after the official discovery of Brazil, in 1502, with the expedition of [[Amerigo Vespucci]] to explore the Brazilian coast. When passing through the island formerly named Goiaó (or Guaiaó) by the natives, the expedition decided to give it the name of São Vicente, for the day's saint.<ref name="História1">{{cite web |url=http://www.vivasantos.com.br/01/01a.htm |title=História |author=Santos |access-date=2014-09-22}}</ref><ref name="FAMS">{{cite web |url=http://www.fundasantos.org.br/page.php?37 |title=Biblioteca Virtual |author=Fundação Arquivo e Memória de Santos |access-date=2014-09-22}}</ref><ref name="História2">{{cite web |url=http://www.usp.br/revistausp/41/05-benedito.pdf |title=A Cidade de Santos: Iconografia e História |author=Benedito Lima de Toledo |publisher=[[Universidade de São Paulo]] |access-date=2014-09-22 |archive-date=2014-12-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227200804/http://www.usp.br/revistausp/41/05-benedito.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, in 1531, due to the decline of the Portuguese crown's business in India, Brazil rose on importance. King D. João III sent for a squad for the demarcation of territories on the island of São Vicente. The captain, Martim Afonso de Sousa, discovered a small village and a dock, known as Porto de São Vicente. One of the exiles brought by Amerigo Vespucci's expedition, Cosme Fernandes, had founded the trading village, which had boomed. Miguel Alfonso took the town by force, granting land on the island to settlers.<ref name="História1"/><ref name="FAMS"/><ref name="História2"/>

In 1543, with the completion of the construction of a chapel on a hillock in honor of Santa Catarina by Luís de Góis, Brás Cubas ordered the port to be moved to the site of Enguaguaçu, which was calmer. The town booked to facilitate the trade that was unlocked with this move. The Portuguese nobleman ordered the construction of Brazil's second, and at the time only hospital, as Hospital da Santa Casa de Misericórdia is closed, similar to the Santa Casa de Lisboa. The hospital was called Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Todos os Santos in Olinda was closed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://biblioteca.ibge.gov.br/biblioteca-catalogo.html?id=444158&view=detalhes|title=Catálogo - ID: 44158|publisher=IBGE|access-date=2018-06-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.abhr.org.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/4.A-Irmandade-da-Santa-Casa-de-Miseric%C3%B3rdia-de-Olinda-e-seu-prestigio-social-e-pol%C3%ADtico-em-Pernam.htm| trans-title=| title=A Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Olinda e seu prestigio social e político em Pernambuco| publisher=ABHR| access-date=2021-08-21| archive-date=2019-07-07| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190707132838/http://www.abhr.org.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/4.A-Irmandade-da-Santa-Casa-de-Miseric%C3%B3rdia-de-Olinda-e-seu-prestigio-social-e-pol%C3%ADtico-em-Pernam.htm| url-status=dead}}</ref> The new town of Enguaguaçu was then known as the town of Todos os Santos. There is speculation that the name Santos would come from the port of Santos in Lisbon, similar to the location of the new settlement. Hence, the region close to Outeiro was known as "Vila do Porto de Santos", and later, just "Santos".<ref name="História1"/><ref name="FAMS"/><ref name="História2"/>

===Twentieth Century===
The export of coffee from the [[Port of Santos]] gave rise to the city and mostly accounted for the wealth of the city at the turn of the 20th century. Export and import through its port have made it the modern city one finds today and turned it into the indispensable outlet for the production of the powerhouse that is São Paulo State. Adorning the landscape of the port city are the canals that are over a hundred years old. In 1899, Santos was the point of entry for the [[bubonic plague]] into Brazil.<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1590/S0074-02762001000500003 |author1=de Carval ho R |author2=Serra-Freire N |author3=Linardi P |author4=de Almeida A |author5=da Costa J | title = Small rodents fleas from the bubonic plague focus located in the Serra dos Órgãos Mountain Range, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | journal = Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz | volume = 96 | issue = 5 | pages = 603–9 | year = 2001 | pmid = 11500756 | doi-access = free }}</ref> In 1924 it became the seat of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Santos]].

In October 2006, [[light crude oil]] was discovered off the coast in the Santos basin.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/afx/2006/10/04/afx3066182.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080603194650/http://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/afx/2006/10/04/afx3066182.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=June 3, 2008 | work=Forbes | title=BG finds oil in Brazil's Santos basin | date=10 April 2006}}</ref>

Santos became a [[tourist city]] from the 1910s onwards, with the construction of the International Hotel and Parque Balneário and the construction of the beach front gardens in 1935. To this day, tourism in Santos is one of the main economic activities, mainly linked to beaches and historical heritage.

==Geography==
Santos is about 50&nbsp;km (31&nbsp;mi) from the metropolis [[São Paulo]], capital of the state São Paulo, which is also the [[List of largest cities in Brazil|most populous city]] in Brazil.

The municipality contains the [[Laje de Santos Marine State Park]], created in 1993, the first marine park to be created by the state.<ref>{{citation|language=pt|ref={{harvid|O Parque Estadual Marinho ... Instituto Laje Viva}} |title=O Parque Estadual Marinho da Laje de Santos|publisher=Instituto Laje Viva |url=http://www.lajeviva.org.br/parque/|access-date=2017-01-20}}</ref>
It is divided into two distinct geographic areas: the heavily urbanized [[São Vicente Island (São Paulo, Brazil)|island]] and the continental area, about 70% of which is [[Protected area|protected]]. {{Citation needed|date=June 2013}} The areas differ radically in terms of population, economy and geography.

===Insular area===
Santos partially lies on the island of São Vicente (Saint Vincent), whose territory is divided with the neighboring municipality of São Vicente. It is a densely urbanized area of {{convert|39.4|km²|sqmi|abbr=on}} that houses almost all the inhabitants of the city. It includes a flat area - Plain Coastal extension of the State of São Paulo - which has altitudes that rarely go above twenty meters above sea level, and an area composed of isolated hills called the Mass of São Vicente, the former home and endowed an urban illegal occupation with a mix of families characterized by high and low incomes, {{citation needed|date=June 2013}} whose height does not exceed 200 meters above sea level.

The flat region of the island is almost completely devoid of native vegetation, although in the north region of the island - especially in the Alemoa, Chico de Paula and Saboó neighbourhoods - there are still remnants of mangroves. Before the occupation of the area of the island by 'chácaras' - rural residences, and subsequently by urbanization, there was a vast flooded land covered by mangroves, the native Atlantic Forest, and coastal vegetation.

On the city hills one can still find vast areas covered by the native Atlantic Forest, in spite of the existing ''chácaras'' and banana harvesting farms in the area. The 'Lagoa da Saudade' (Homesickness Lagoon), a pond located in one of the aforementioned hills, Morro Nova Cintra, was known to host a kind of [[Caiman (genus)|caiman]]. The lagoon is also a popular destination among families in the city due to its playgrounds, barbecue kiosks, picnic spots and green areas. The disordered occupation of the hills represents both an environmental as well as a geological risk: the deforestation leads to frequent landslides, mainly from January to March, the traditional rainy season in the region.

Most rivers in the island were channeled when engineer Saturnino de Brito designed the system of canals in the city. As examples, we can cite the rivers Dois Rios ("Two Rivers") and Ribeirão dos Soldados ("Soldiers Creek"), which is nowadays referred by santistas as the 'Canal 4' on Avenue Siqueira Campos.

Major water courses cut the island in the north, such as the Rio de São Jorge (St. George River), which suffers from the problems of pollution and silting due to the occupation of its banks by slums.

===Islands===

* Barnabé Island
* Diana Island

===Climate===
Despite the fact that it is located just outside the [[tropics]], Santos has a [[tropical rainforest climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Af'') with no real dry season.<ref>[http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=28738&cityname=Santos- Climate Summary for Santos, São Paulo]</ref> Tropical rainforest climates are typically found near the equator, so Santos featuring this type of climate is an exceptional situation. All months of the year average more than 60&nbsp;mm of rainfall during the course of the year. Santos features warm weather throughout the year, though June in Santos is somewhat cooler (and drier) than January. Mean temperatures in the city are around 19&nbsp;°C during wintertime and around 25&nbsp;°C in the summer months. Precipitation in Santos is very high, amounting to around {{convert|2000|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} annually. Santos lies in one of the few isolated regions of Brazil outside of the tropical [[Amazon Basin]] that receive more than {{convert|2000|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} of total average precipitation annually, although nearby [[Ubatuba]], approximately {{convert|140|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} to the east-northeast, is considerably wetter than Santos, receiving an average of {{convert|2645|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} of precipitation annually.
