Samora Correia

The Village of Samora Correia has registered existence of the middles of century XIII, having been institutionalized for Letter of Charter in 13 of April of 1510, donated for D. Manuel.

 

Small even so, for isolation circumstances, therefore it was placed in the left edge of the estuary of Tagus River, with a width of 8 km, where they appeared one 5 islets. Barren terrain at that time, without the actually  resources, did not fomented the setting human being, serving of paradise for the hunted ones of the noblemen.

 

The “Grande Lezíria” formed it the few, in the passed century, thanks to the raised trenches. Without communication ways, the proper beaten land roads were cut by the regular floods.

 

Nowadays thanks to its current situation of crossroads of roads, the isolation of long ago gave place to a great development making of the this most prosperous village of the District of Santarém.

 

The small initial population of 65 families, of one 300 people passed almost to the 20,000 actually habitants.
