Covoada is a civil parish in the municipality of Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel in the Azores.

During the early settlement of São Miguel, from about 1846, this area pertained to the parish of Arrifes, passing to the territory of Relva later, until its numbers warranted the creation of a new entity.

In ashes of the temple, the residents were able to save a few books and documents, and an image of the Virgin Mary that was located in the baptistery.

The Livro de Tombo from the Church of Nossa Senhora da Ajuda indicated the necessity to provide an independent religious parish to the faith community on October 28, 1977.

Covoada is a slender tract of land between the parishes of Relva and Arrifes that includes prime agricultural and pasturelands, interspersed with mountainous terrains covered in partial forest and scrub-brush.
