Glicério is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population is 4,829 (2020 est.) in an area of 273 km2.[2] The elevation is 400 m. The city is known for being the birthplace of former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

The city was originally founded in 1906 as the village of Povoado de Castilho. The name of the village originated from the presence of the Castilho family who set up the first ranches in the area.

In telecommunications, the city was served by Companhia Telefônica Brasileira until 1973, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo.[3] In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012.[4]

The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).[4]
