History

The civil parish was established in 2013 under the national administrative reform. It is as an amalgamation of three former civil parishes established in 1836 and contains five ecclesiastical parishes: Argivai, Bairro Norte, Bairro Sul, Bairro da Matriz, and Beiriz. Argivai and Beiriz are ancient parishes with known records dating to the 11th century and the remaining were established in 1935, by splitting the Póvoa de Varzim parish, created around 1456.
