History
In 1864, then known as Ourega, the parish had approximately 576 inhabitants. By 1878, that figure had grown to 688 inhabitants, when it was now commonly referred to as Tourega (Nossa Senhora da Assunção).
Between 1911 and 1920 the parish was annexed to the neighbouring parish of Nossa Senhora da Graça do Divor, which was only remedied on 18 October 1926 (Decree-Law No.12/509). The census of 1930 identified a population of 1186 habitants, which in 1936 included the parish of São Brás do Regedouro.
Until 22 August 2003, it was known as Nossa Senhora da Torega.
