RESUMO

The comparison between data gathered from the maps of the city of Promissão and the historical database leads to a relation between the toponymic choices and the identity construction of the first group to settle there. Therefore we investigate in what level the toponym as a term of specialty language plays the role of the externalization element of this identity, if not that of the constructor. The place choice is justified by its little expressivity concerning the capital habitants, despite the importance of the city in the States development process toward the Northeast after the construction of the Noroeste do Brasil railway and also the citys participation in the 1932 Revolution, sending combatants and serving as a temporary home for those who came from Mato Grosso. The Promissão Station was deactivated, but the city keeps its prosperity, which calls some attention. The objectives of this research are: contribute to Projeto ATESP and the Atlas das Cidades project with the insertion of the city of Promissão in the panoramic toponymic studies of the State of São Paulo; preserve the history of the place and the people who arrived there and contributed so much to the development of the area and to the politic movements of the capital of São Paulo; provide local population and general public with a scientific document that addresses the history of the city and presents the relation between its toponymic choices and the sociocultural and linguistic reality of the habitants in the choosing of names; verify the value of defining toponyms as products and constructors of group self. The methods applied to the data collecting, toponyms classification and analysis are those proposed by Dick (1999) and practiced at Projeto ATESP. The Planta da Cidade de Promissão: perímetro urbano (1:5.000 scale) was the base to the gathering of toponyms, further classified according to the taxonomies proposed by Dick (1990). The historical database was collected from books by regional authors, city documents researched in the City Halls of Penápolis and Promissão, Mother Churchs Book and interviews with members of the population.
