"Avenidas Novas" was the known designation of Lisbon's expansion towards north by the end of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century, when several avenues connected the historical centre of the city with several places located nearby, that became part of the city limits. The avenues crossed mainly rural areas, allowing a significant urban expansion.
Edward VII Park was laid out in 1903.
The freguesia was created with the 2012 Administrative Reform ofLisbon, merging the former parishes ofNossa Senhora de Fátima andSão Sebastião da Pedreira.[3]
