English Brazilians (Portuguese: Anglo-brasileiros) are Brazilians of full, partial or predominantly English ancestry or English-born people residing in Brazil.^{[citation needed]}

History

Colonial-era economic influences and the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance led to the settlement of English merchants and others in Brazil. After Brazilian independence, Britain was Brazil's main commercial partner; Britain financed part of the Brazil's industrialization, building railroads, including the São Paulo Railway (SPR).^{[citation needed]}

In the 1920 Republican Census, there were 9,637,000 "Englishmen" in Brazil (probably, all British citizens were counted as "Englishmen"). The states with the majority of English origin were:

São Paulo (2,198,000),
Federal District - which was the Rio de Janeiro city - (2,057,000),
Minas Gerais (1,709,000), and
Pernambuco (1,123,000).^[2]

Brazilian cities settled by the English during the same period, include:

Rio de Janeiro city (2,057),
São Paulo (1,212),
Recife (980),
Santos (555), and
Niterói (459).^[3]

Cultural influence

One of their major contributions at the cultural level was the establishment of several football clubs, including São Paulo Athletic Club and Fluminense Football Club.^{[citation needed]}
