The parish was created under the name of União das Freguesias de Lagos (São Sebastião e Santa Maria) on 28 January 2013 by way of a resolution of the Assembly of the Republic promulgated on twelve days earlier with the union of the parishes of Santa Maria and São Sebastião, becoming its headquarters in the former parish of São Sebastião.[4] This name was maintained until 26 August 2015, when it was given its current name in application of Law no. 108/2015 that modified its name.[5]
