Américo Brasiliense is a Brazilian municipality in the state of São Paulo. The population is 41,032 (2020 est.) in an area of 123 km2 (47 sq mi).
This city is also known as Cidade Doçura ("sweetness city"), because its perimeter is surrounded by sugar cane plantations that form the basis for its economy. This is supported by cheap labor from emigrants from northeastern states, mainly from Bahia.
