The district of peace of "Santana" (Distrito de Paz de Santana) was created in 1898, and its boundaries changed over the years with the creation of new sub-districts in the north of the city through the municipal law of 1986.
However, the origins of the region of Santana are very old, with the district's foundation date recognized as July 26, 1782.

Santana is a district which, despite formerly being a central core north of São Paulo, was long isolated from the rest of the city due to natural barriers such as the Rio Tietê and Serra da Cantareira.
This isolation remained until the beginning of the 20th century.
Since then, like the rest of the city, Santana has developed rapidly due to industrialization and the wealth generated by the coffee trade throughout the State of São Paulo.

Years later, the district of Santana completed its integration with the rest of the city by the construction of the North-South line (now Line 1 (Blue)) of the São Paulo Metro in the 1970s.
