Finds prove a local settlement back to prehistoric times, for example the rock paintings from the Copper Age or a hill fort ( Port .: Castro ) from the Iron Age . Settlement remains from the 4th century BC Were excavated in a hill. During the Roman rule the place belonged to the province of Hispania citerior . After the invasion of the Germanic tribes, Visigoths and Suebi left only a few traces here, as in the rest of their empires, including some grave sites.

Mogadouro received its first town charter ( Foral ) in 1272 from King D.Afonso III. Which in 1297 by King D.Dinis were confirmed. In 1311 the place was handed over to the order of Christ , which was in the process of being established , as part of the prohibition of the Templar Order . In 1512 King Manuel I renewed the town charter .
