The name Fajã da Ovelha is believed to be owed to the fact that, once upon a time, a shepherd lost a sheep (ovelha) in the fajã – a kind of platform, which in this case the sedimentation made possible to be used by men – and that episodes such as this would have been the origin of the civil parish such as we know today. Fajã da Ovelha, like most civil parishes on the Island, originated from a very old chapel, whose patron saint was São Lourenço. Resembling what happened in the rest of the country, and in the catholic world in general, people started living around the temple, creating with time a populated area.
This is a quiet and sunny civil parish. The church has a belvedere, from which we can admire the part of the rock which, according to tradition, Saint Amaro protects the place, so that it does not “fall into the sea”.
As someone once wrote, Fajã da Ovelha deserves the interest of the curious visitor longing to revive the characteristics of the past, which is kept here by the quietness of the present.
Fajã da Ovelha has a population of about 1340 inhabitants.
The main economic activity of the civil parish is agriculture. Other important activities include: bread making, building construction, dairy produce, general trade, services and cattle breeding.
