history
The history of São Paio de Olo is closely linked to that of the Freguesia Sanche, which borders on the south . The need to improve the administration in this area led in 1934 to the division of the area into two municipalities.
In the middle of the 20th century, the president of the Câmara Amarante António do Lago Cerqueira inaugurated a modern power plant in the town.
The townscape is determined by the Igreja Matriz . The patron saint of the place is St. Pelagius .
On September 29, 2013, the municipalities of Olo and Canadelo were merged to form the new municipality of União das Freguesias de Olo e Canadelo . Olo is the seat of this newly formed community.
