= Immigration =
After the abolition of slavery in 1888, Mococa began to receive a large number of immigrants to work on the coffee plantations. Among the immigrants, the majority were Italians, numbering between 9,000 and 10,000, coming mainly from the regions of Lombardy, Veneto, Lazio, Campania and Sicily. But there were also Germans, mainly from the Bavaria region, Austrians, Portuguese; Spanish from Andalusia and Galicia and, to a lesser extent, Lebanese, among others. The current population is the result of the miscegenation of these immigrants; it is estimated that the majority have at least one Italian ancestor.{{Cite web |title=Encontra Mococa {{!}} Guia de Mococa » EncontraMococa.com.br |url=https://www.encontramococa.com.br/ |access-date=2025-01-22 |website=Encontra Mococa |language=pt-BR}}
