history
The place is first mentioned by the Romans as the Avellanum region at the mouth of the Rio da Serra , at the time of the first Roman emperor Augustus .
The current town was probably created in the course of the new settlements during the Reconquista . In the 10th century it is as Avelanas noted in the 12th century as Avelanas de Susana and in the next century as Avelanis de Jusanis .
King D. Manuel gave the place as Avelãs do Caminho on November 13, 1514 city rights and made it the seat of a district. Since then, the place has borne the title of a small town ( Vila ).
The place was also the setting of a small episode during the Napoleonic Wars in the Iberian Peninsula . One day after the Battle of Buçaco on September 27, 1810, the defeated French army under Marshal André Masséna in search of the royal connecting road ( Estrada Real ) only met that road in Avelãs de Caminho, in order to follow it south towards the lines from Torres Vedras to march.
In the course of the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution in 1822 , the district was dissolved in 1836. Since then Avelãs de Caminho has been a parish in Anadia County.
