Continental (Osasco)

Continental (also known as Jardim Wilson) is a neighborhood[1] in the city of Osasco (São Paulo, Brazil). It is named after Salamaria Continental, a slaughterhouse that existed in the region. In 1918, the Thomas E. Wilson Company acquired the slaughterhouse, which led to some referring to the neighborhood as Jardim Wilson instead.[2]
