Neighborhood info

A Cantoneiro was a person responsible for all tasks related with the maintenance of a set of roads in a region (or canton from which the portuguese word cantoneiro derives). The effectiveness of the Cantoneiros' activity, i.e. road maintenance, was only possible with the permanent presence of the cantoneiros in their cantons. Thus, since the mid 19th-century, the portuguese state decided to build dedicated houses for these workers and their families. The properties were simultaneously the place of living for the families and the sites to store all equipment related with the road maintenance activity. This allowed to fix the working force where it was needed, many times at some distance from the main villages. From the mid 20th-century, with the development of the automotive industry and the extension of the road network, the cantoneiros were replaced by centralized construction companies under public contracts.
