The elevation ranges from 756 to 920 metres above sea level. Botucatu became a village in 1855, and a city in 1876.

During most of the year, mainly at night, a breeze blowing over São Paulo plateau, from which Botucatu elevates about , cools the city and surroundings; this cold everyday wind from the high plateaus is where the city got its name from.
