By political influences, it has been Mantiqueira Street, Washington Luis and President João Pessoa. During the administration of Colonel Marcondes, a project to rename several streets and squares it was presented. Among the changes was the change of name of the Mantiqueira Street to Washington Luis, who was president of the State and candidate for the presidency. But after Washington Luís be deposed, the name was changed to President Joao Pessoa. It was only in 1937 that the street was renamed Lieutenant Nicholas Maffei, who was part of the Constitutionalist army of Presidente Prudente and went forward operations under the command of Colonel Miguel Brisola de Oliveira. He was killed in combat in Ribeirópolis September 22, 1932, hit on the head by a rifle bullet. Maffei was still buried by the enemy itself, which gave him military honors recognizing his bravery. In 1979 it was built "pedestrian street" in the initial five blocks. The Maffei was closed to cars and reformed to facilitate the movement of prudentinos in the city center, and above all, to foster trade. In 2009 the Boardwalk received his first retirement after 30 years, adapting it to the current town planning legislation.
