Rua 9 de Julho

What is known in Marília as Rua 9 de Julho started out in the 1920s having 3 different names. It started out as Rua Minas Gerais on top of the hill - where Avenida Vicente Ferreira is - where Santa Isabel's church is now located - and went down all the way to the railway line where it changed name to Rua Ceará - keeping this denomination for only 3 blocks up to Avenida Sampaio Vidal. 

As this avenue used to divide the community in two different sections - crossing the avenue the Street had a 2nd change of name to Rua Tamandaré and went all the way through the area kwnow then as Alto Cafezal.
