history
|
Finds prove a prehistoric settlement, especially the Anta de Aguiar .
Today's place was probably founded as part of the settlement policy after the Christian Reconquista . The knight Estêvão Rodrigues gave the place its first city rights in 1269. King D. Dinis confirmed this in 1287 and made the place a vila and thus the seat of a district.
King Manuel I renewed Aguiar's town charter in 1516.
In the course of the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution from 1821 and the following Miguelistenkrieg , the Aguiar district was dissolved, from then on it was a municipality of the Viana do Alentejo district.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the municipality of Aguiar was dissolved and Viana do Alentejo was incorporated. In 1985 Aguiar became an independent municipality again.
