History and place name

The place name is not related to the concept of Satan . It probably comes from the time of Arab rule, from the verb santama (for example "clog" or "pour over") or the ruler's name Zaatam . Sátão was already the seat of its own district when in 1111 Count Heinrich of Burgundy and Countess Theresia of Castile granted it its first town charter under the name Zalatane . In the royal records the place was recorded as çaatam in 1258 , and as çaataom in 1527 . During the Renaissance , the form of Satam developed , from which today's spelling originated.

The medieval local community in the district existed under the name Santa Maria do Sátão (today's spelling) and comprised the areas of today's communities Avelal , Mioma and Sátão. At the end of the 16th century it was split into the municipality of Vila da Igreja , with the municipalities of Avelal and Sátão, and the municipality of São Pedro de Mioma , separated by the Vímaro River. It was not until 1951 that the district, municipality and small town ( Vila ) were uniformly managed under the official name of Sátão.
