History

The name Agualva-Cacém belonged to a civil parish that encompassed 10.51 km2 (4.1 sq mi) of the municipality of Sintra. On 12 July 2001, that parish was elevated to the status of city and divided into four civil parishes (24 July 2001).

The toponym "Agualva" is derived from the Latin Aqua alba, meaning white (pure) water, while "Cacém" is derived from the Arabic Qāsim (قاسم‎), meaning "the one who distributes".

Geography

Agualva-Cacém is divided into four civil parishes, which fall within a territorial extent within the Greater Lisbon subregion, an area of mostly residential suburbs.

With the Reorganização Administrativa do Território das Freguesias (Administrative Reorganization of the Territory of Parishes) - Law Nº. 11-A/2013, 21st of January, 2013, the four parishes were merged in two unions of parishes: União das Freguesias de Agualva e Mira-Sintra and União das Freguesias do Cacém e S. Marcos.

The train station (Agualva-Cacém railway station) has existed since 1887 (then under the operation of the Larmanjat railway company (1870-1877)). Remodeling works began in 2008, with the new station building opening in 2013.
