Gafanha do Carmo, initially known as Gafanha dos Caseiros for understandable reasons: the lands were predominantly worked by tenant farmers, cultivating lands owned by likely wealthy landlords or those uninterested in agricultural work. The origins of these tenant farmers were the same as those from the other Gafanhas. However, their closest ties were with the people of the neighboring Gafanha da Encarnação. Officially, though, the area was integrated into the parish of São Salvador, Ílhavo, from the 19th century. Before that, all Gafanhas belonged to Vagos.
When the parish and then the parish church of Gafanha da Encarnação were created in 1926 and 1928, respectively, a conflict arose over boundaries. The Bishop of Coimbra decided to integrate Gafanha dos Caseiros, or Gafanha do Carmo, into the parish of Gafanha da Encarnação.
The community of Gafanha do Carmo became a parish on November 6, 1957, by decree of D. João Evangelista, Archbishop-Bishop of Aveiro. The current parish church was blessed and inaugurated on November 17, 1974, by D. Manuel de Almeida Trindade.
The civil parish was created in 1960, following the petition of most family heads in the area, with 297 households and 1,155 residents. The first Parish Council was formed on December 26 of that year, led by António Maria Louro Domingues, who declared at the time of his inauguration: "The Council was legally constituted, and it is with true joy and emotion that I have the honor of presiding over its first meeting."
Gafanha do Carmo has been predominantly an agricultural community, but there have always been other activities. Many men were salt workers, cod fishermen, or worked on the Ria, in construction, in commerce, and local industries. Emigration was also a constant option, especially to Brazil, the United States, Venezuela, Canada, France, and Germany. The women who stayed behind worked in agriculture or at the codfish drying fields of Gafanha da Nazaré. Others sold produce at Costa Nova during the summer or in nearby markets, particularly Vista Alegre.
