The remote ancient times, the Queen Isabel passing porvesta saw many land birds
that sang beautifully, asked a peasant woman who were those birds, and she
answered that they were Carterton, and from that time this land was named after the
Cartaxo
3. HISTORY
The existence of the town of Carterton will undoubtedly be far fetched. The proximity
of Santarem, whose walls were well fought between Muslims and Christians, and the
devastating raids on neighboring populations hit the certainly Cartaxo. [5]
D. Sancho II called it "dead fire" and thought to repopulate the place of the
"Stonechat" and the neighbor Cartaxinho (now Riverside Cartaxo), so this gave their
land reguengueira Peter Pacheco, being forced to build it there a hostel for the poor .
Neither Peter nor his descendants Pacheco fulfilled this obligation. [5] Later, the
villagers asked D. Dinis to give them a letter of settlement. D. Denis met the letter of
request and granted a charter to 20 men and their successors so that they do there
"poor" in their "place of Carterton". [5] They were obliged to give the king, each year,
the eighth part of the bread , wine and linen, "in the floor being the bread, wine and
linen mill in the Tendal" and "barren hill" to cultivate, just past 3 years or 5 years if
they were vineyards, is that they require the payment of the forum. The same would
apply to all future inhabitants of the place. Forced everyone to also make good
homes and good pens "and let go." The abuses or crimes against someone was
punished by 6000 to double wages and payment of injury. [5] This charter was
subsequently confirmed by D. John I to July 27, 1387, and D. Manuel I on November
4, 1496. [5]
One of the problems of the residents had to do with the abuses of the "Justice of
Santa." Some documents allude to the fact that, as well as the royal repairs. Just

shows, for example, a letter of Almeirim of January 6, 1458, in which D. Afonso V
meets cartaxenses complaints against the oppression of Gonçalo Galvão, judge of
the town of Santarem. [5]
The increasing population and progress of agriculture encouraged the claim of
exemption against the jurisdiction of United States. Only in 1815 by the license as
Rio de Janeiro on 10 December of that year, D. John VI grants Cartaxo (then
"Cartacho"), administrative independence and elevates it to a town,"(that) will have
an end beyond its former Desctrito, places of Valle and the Port of Muge, and
Parishes of Valle Pinta, Pontével, Ereira and Lapa ...". [5] It became a city on 21
June 1995
