History
The toponym "Agualva" is derived from the Latin Aqua alba, meaning white (pure) water, while "Cacém" is derived from the Arabic Qāsim (قاسم), meaning "the one who distributes". The name Agualva-Cacém belonged to a civil parish that encompassed of the municipality of Sintra. On 12 July 2001, that parish was elevated to the status of city and divided into four civil parishes, which, in 2013, were then merged into two unions of parishes: União das Freguesias de Agualva e Mira-Sintra and União das Freguesias do Cacém e São Marcos. The train station (Agualva-Cacém railway station) has existed since 1887 (then under the operation of the Larmanjat railway company). Remodeling works began in 2008, with the new station building opening in 2013.
