History

The name for the parish developed due to the existence of a small chapel in the area before the creation of the parish, dedicated to Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres (). The reference to pleasure came from local references to an area that captivated the senses and the areas symbiosis with earthly pleasures.

Historically a part of Estreito da Calheta, this region became independent, along with some homes in Fajã da Ovelha on 18 December 1676.
