History


Tarrafal de Monte Trigo is a rather long name considered important to avoid confusing it with other tarrafals in Cape Verde. There are over four of them, one on São Nicolau, and even another one on the island of Santo Antão, which is not really a village, but a section of Ribeira Grande, one of the largest towns on the island. The name Tarrafal comes from the shrub/tree Tamarix senegalensis or Tamarisk, called Tarrafe in Cape Verde.

In February 2021, work on the road to the village was declared finished with an inauguration ceremony.
