SÃO JOÃO VILLAGE
THE FIRST SETTLERS TO SETTLE IN WHAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BE KNOWN AS THE VILLAGE OF SÃO JOÃO WAS AROUND THE EARLY 1500 HUNDREDS AND SETTLED IN AN AREA CALLED BAY OF ARRUDA.
THE VILLAGE IS LOCATED BETWEEN TWO LAVA RIVER RUNS. THE LAST TWO ERUPTIONS OCCURRED IN 1718 & 1721. THE ERUPTION OF 1718 DESTROYED THE ORIGINAL VILLAGE OF SÃO JOÃO WHERE THE NATURAL PICNIC PARK IS CURRENTLY LOCATED. SOMETIME AFTER THE ERUPTION OCCURRED THE VILLAGERS REBUILT THE VILLAGE IN ITS CURRENT LOCATION.
