context_section_description: The parish was created in 1397, probably resulting in the division of a part of Beato (to the south) and Sacavém (to the north). 
  Between 1852 and 1886 Santa Maria dos Olivais formed a large municipality, predominantly rural, including 22 civil parishes.
  In 1864 it occupied a surface of approximately 223 km² and had a population of 25,495, and of 29,491, in 1878.
  With the 2012 administrative reform, the parish name was reduced from Santa Maria dos Olivais to Olivais.
