The origins of the parish go back to the thirteenth century with the appearance of small river settlements, among them the village of Samouco in 1241, most of them related to the exploration of Salinas and consequent production of salt. The settlement of the then place of Samouco began then in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries on the basis of the fixation of people, attracted by the work existing in the exploitation of the farms in the territory, whose agricultural production supplied Lisbon. The territory that currently corresponds to the parish of Samouco has always been quite fertile and conducive to the cultivation of vines, oranges, figs, wheat and rye, potatoes and onions. Also noteworthy for the bush cutting and pine forest business which was also quite profitable. The proximity to the river proved to be an important factor, both for the transportation of the agricultural products produced and the formation of urban nuclei in this place from the middle of the thirteenth century until the beginning of the fourteenth century. The geographical situation of Samouco, together with the recognized fertility of the soils, favored its development as a riverside area on the south bank of the Tagus. Samouco is thus a very old village which can be observed by the typical houses of the riverside areas. Very well maintained is a good place to stroll and look at the past. Next to the river we have a magnificent landscape on the Tagus River overlooking the other Margin, Lisbon, from the Vasco da Gama Bridge to the 25 de Abril Bridge. The paraphysical quay is a reference point on this bank of the Tagus River. Visit, near Alcochete.
