History

Located on the right bank of the Tagus River, 22 kilometers northeast of the city of Santarém, in Roman antiquity it was an important satellite town of that city, which was founded by the Romans who occupied the region in the 2nd century BC and named the larger settlement Scalabis. Pombalinho was formerly called Santa Cruz do Pombal but became known from the 18th century onwards by the name of Pombalinho to distinguish it from other villages with the same name, especially the town of Pombal. The 1st Baron of Pombalinho, António Vasques da Cunha de Araújo Porto Carrero, was mentioned on Almeida Garrett's (1799 – 1854) Viagens na Minha Terra (Travels in My Homeland). Before 2013, it was part of Santarém municipality. In 2013 the civil parish of Pombalinho was merged into the municipality of Golegã.
