==History== |
|||
The municipality is composed of 8 parishes, and is located in the [[Santarém District]]. |

|||
In the written and oral history, the territory of Cartaxo was an important landscape in the interior passage of the country. A Roman via connected the ancient [[Olissipo]] (Lisbon), crossing Alenquer (Lerabriga) to Santarém (Scallabis), through the territory of Cartaxo.<ref name="CMCartaxo">{{citation |url=http://www.cm-cartaxo.pt/Ser/Turismo/Concelho/Paginas/Resenha.aspx |title=Resenha Histórica |publisher=Câmara Municipal de Cartaxo |editor=Câmara Municipal |accessdate=6 October 2013 |year=2012 |language=Portuguese}}</ref> Yet, before the Romans, other civilizations settled in the region, establishing [[Castro culture|castros]] in Vila Nova de São Pedro, Vale do Tejo or in the areas of Muge.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> |
|||
Situated in the plains of the Ribatejo, Cartaxo was a battleground between Muslim and the Christians. Due to its proximity of Santarém, it was one of the centres that were disputed between Muslim and Christian forces for years, resulting in the destruction of Cartaxo.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> Yet, King [[Sancho II of Portugal]] found that it was necessary to repopulate the area, since it was located in a privileged position with fertile lands.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> He, therefore, assigned the land of Cartaxinho (today Ribeira do Cartaxo) to Pedro Pacheco, who was responsible for constructing a shelter for the poor: yet, Pedro Pacheco nor his descendants would accomplish the task.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> |
|||
Oral tradition suggests that the name ''Cartaxo'' was given to the lands by Queen [[Elizabeth of Aragon]] who, on a voyage to the Monastery of Almoster, stopped to rest and quench their thirst. Alongside a spring, she was surprised by the beautiful song a bird, that she was unfamiliar.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> Asking one of the peasants about the songbird, the serf responded that the song came from a bird called a ''cartaxos'' or ''cartaxinhos''. Enchanted by the place, the Queen ordained that the land, then called ''Lugar da Fonte'' began to receive the name ''Lugar do Cartaxo''.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> It is unclear whether there is any truth to this story. |
|||
The present Mayor is Paulo Simões Caldas, elected by the [[Portuguese Socialist Party|Socialist Party]]. |
|||
In 1312, Cartaxo received its first [[foral]] (''charter'') signed in Leiria, by King [[Denis of Portugal]], confirmed in 1487, by King [[John II of Portugal|John II]] (in Santarém) and in 1496, by [[Manuel of Portugal|Manuel]] (also in Santarém). The first foral, issued by Denis on 21 March 1312, was sent to his vassel, Garcia Martins, originating the foundation of the locality of Cartaixo.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> In this act, Denis exempted the region from taxes for those who grew and cultivated grapes during the first five years of their tenure. Settlers who accepted these land rights were required to trade their concession with an annual submission of an eighth of their produce in wine and linen.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> |
|||
The municipal holiday is the [[Ascension Day]]. |
|||
The historical importance of the municipality is supported by events of the [[Battle of Ourique]], which were probably linked to Vila Chã de Ourique (1139), a concession of foral to Pontével, by King [[Sancho of Portugal|Sancho]] (1194) and the existence of the Royal Palaces of Valada (1361-1365).<ref name=CMCartaxo/> |
|||
In the middle of the 19th century, Cartaxo was one of the more populated areas of Estremadura, in the Comarca of Santarém, with just over 200 inhabitants.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> Following the death of King [[John IV of Portugal|John]], his testament conceded several honors to his daughter (in 1656).<ref name=CMCartaxo/> On 10 December 1815, by regal decree from Rio de Janeiro, King John VI conceded its administrative independence, which was followed-up on 21 June 1995 with the elevation of Cartaxo to the status of city.<ref name=CMCartaxo/> |
|||

Template:Geobox Cartaxo (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐɾˈtaʃu]) is a municipality in continental Portugal, with a total area of 158.2 square kilometres (61.1 sq mi) and a total population of 24,465 inhabitants. The urbanized centre of Cartaxo includes a population of over 9,507 inhabitants.[1]

In the written and oral history, the territory of Cartaxo was an important landscape in the interior passage of the country.
