history

Until the 1940s, the towns of Piraporinha, Eldorado, Taboão and Vila Conceição, which administratively belonged to São Bernardo , were located in today's urban area . Due to the proximity to the big city of São Paulo and the rapidly advancing industrialization from the end of the 1940s , the population increased, with the four places growing together geographically. In 1948 the Distrito Diadema (District Diadema) was founded. In a referendum on December 24, 1958, the population decided in favor of self-government. In 1959 the first city government elections were held. This year is officially considered the date of the city's foundation. On January 10, 1960, the first city ​​prefect (mayor) of Diadema took office.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Diadema was considered one of the most dangerous cities in Brazil. On average, violent crime killed two people a day. Among other things, a stricter regulation of the curfew in restaurants and a community-based organization of the police made it possible to reduce the murder rate from 103 to below 35 per 100,000 inhabitants by 2005.
