According to Father António Macedo e Silva, valuable source of information about the county of Santiago do Cacém, the parish of Santo Andre would have been created after other parishes of the county, or in the reign of D. João I, or in the reign of D.Duarte. Santo Andre, first site and then village, became with time the meeting point of the people of the earth with the people from the sea.

The parish is divided into small and medium sized properties where there are vegetable gardens, vineyards, orchards of orange, etc. Until the XVII century, the Lagoa de Santo André had the name of the Pear Lake and was in communication with the sea. All streams that pass through Santo André debouche in the Lagoa.
