Juquiratiba is a district of the Brazilian municipality of Conchas, in the interior of the state of São Paulo. History Origin The place began to be inhabited at the end of the 19th century, shortly before the arrival of the railroad, around 1885. According to historical testimonies, Pedro Carlos de Arruda lived at kilometer 237 of the old railroad, between the stations of Conchas and Pirambóia, above the line, where today is the district headquarters. Pedro Carlos de Arruda, known as Pedro Salgado, donated land for Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana to build a railway station, only requesting that the name of the future station be “Salgado”, probably inaugurated in 1888.
