The Portuguese city of Barreiro had its origins in a pobra or riverside village, repopulated after the reconquest, under the aegis of the Knights of the Order of Santiago da Espada. The parish of Santa Cruz do Barreiro dates back to the 13th-14th centuries, having been commended by the Order of Santiago da Espada. Its inhabitants dedicated themselves to fishing and salt extraction. A land of fishermen and rural people, it led an obscure life, although it was elevated to a town in 1521. On the banks of the Tagus River, which enters Barreiro via the Coina River, was Vale de Zebro, where once stood ovens that manufactured the biscuits that fueled the ships leaving Lisbon, heading for India and Brazil. On both banks of the creeks there were tidal mills that manufactured flour for biscuits. The barns, ovens and mills survived until the 19th century. The municipality of Barreiro, when that of Alhos Vedros was extinguished on October 24, 1855, began to integrate the parishes of Palhais and Lavradio into its area.

Its expansion, however, began in 1906, with the award to a group of industrialists from the Caminho-de-Ferro-Sul-e-Sueste, initially between Barreiro and Vendas Novas.

The urban fabric would grow beyond the limits of the town itself. municipality, to neighboring Moita. The traces of this past are still a mark of the city today, through the CP Workshops, the Workers' Neighborhoods, and in particular the still present industrial-business park of Baía do Tejo (current name of the former CUF, QUIMIGAL and Quimiparque).
