/ref> Established on 15 September 1861 by Major Vitoriano de Souza Rocha and Domiciano Santana, the city was developed around the chapel of Our Lady of the Good Death ("Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte").

Tourism is an important aspect in Avaré, which today is virtually a large ranch. Traditional events occur throughout the year, such as the Feira das Nações (''Fair of the Nations''), where typical foods of various countries are served, and the FAMPOP, (Fair of Popular Music), whose objective is to highlight and award singers, musicians and composers. Natural attractions such as ''Terra da Água, do Verde e do Sol'' ("Land of water, the green, and the sun") also invite tourists to the beauty of Avaré's large reservoir.
The city is also distinguished as a center of higher education. Many students from the surrounding region come to Avaré seeking a quality education and a chance to study. The ''Faculdade Sudoeste Paulista'' (São Paulo State Southwest College) and other higher education institutions are located there.
