Fafe was first officially documented in the 12th century. Since the 13th century Fafe was a municipality in the Monte Longo district, which in 1513 received renewed administrative rights ( Foral ) by King Manuel I.
Fafe later became the seat of the Santa Eulália Antiga district, and in 1836, in the course of the reforms of Manuel Passos , it was also named after the district. Fafe was promoted to vila (small town with administrative rights) in 1840 and a city in 1986.
