Pedro Álvares Cabral, a Portuguese explorer, landed in Brazil on April 22, 1500. He is generally considered to have been the first European to see Brazil, although that is not certain. Most of the European immigrants after that were from Portugal, beginning in about 1530. The first permanent Portuguese settlement was founded at Sao Vicente, in the state of Sao Paulo, in 1532.
