ABSTRACT
Interpretation of the historical social conditions that determined the 18th-century territoriality of the Torres Vedras region, highlighting political and legislative reasons, ancestors linked to a vassalage relationship, which caused the transition to a Liberal and Bourgeois era. In particular, the importance of the Torres Vedras region as the stage of the Peninsular War and the civil war between absolutists and liberals that followed, seeking to understand the impacts of the new legislation that has revolutionized the previous socio-territorial structuring. Finally, we develop the importance of main agricultural production, being understood as a factor for the socio-economic reorganization that was established at the end of the 19th century.
