Esgueira is an urban civil parish in the municipality (''concelho'') of Aveiro, in continental Portugal. The population in 2011 was 13,431,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística )〕 in an area of 17.15 km².〔(Direção-Geral do Território )〕 ==History== The history of Esgueira remotes to the early medieval: the first document referring to the region dates to 1050. Specifically, the texts refer to the maritime waters of Esgueira. Outeiro was the locality where the first inhabitants settled. There are several interpretations of the toponym. That proposed by Monsenhor João Gaspar stands out: Iscaria meant "outeiro", a rocky elevation above Ribeira, the place where now stands the pavilion of Clube do Povo de Esgueira, formerly "Parque do Outeiro". Its geographic location, alongside tidal flats, permitted, until the 17th century, the development of the salt industry.〔 An active centre in salt commerce, Esqueira was the seat of its jurisdiction (over thirty 31 towns and 10 municipalities).〔 It received a foral (''charter'') in 1110 from the Count Henrique.〔 In 1116, the Monastery of Lorvão had possessions in the town, which the Afonso Henriques enlarged in 1176, with the donation of Taboeira, among others.〔 It was Sancho I that in October 1210, provided Esgueira to his daughter D. Teresa in his testament.〔 On 8 June 1515, a new foral was issued by Manuel I of Portugal.〔 During the reign of John III there was a reorganization of the territorial divisions of the kingdom, resulting in the establishment of new comarcas, including Esgueira on 20 December 1533. Between 1528 and 1836, Esgueira was a municipality, consisting of the parishes of Esgueira, Cacia, Nariz and Palhaça, whom, by 1801, included 4426 inhabitants.〔 With the elevation of Aveiro to city, the lands were converted into crown lands, after the Dukes implicated in the attempted assassination of Joseph I of Portugal were executed: the privileges of the Dukes were removed, and transferred by 6 November 1836 decree, extinguishing the municipality and annexxing Esgueira (as a simple parish) to the municipality of Aveiro.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Esgueira」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
