Fajãzinha was de-annexed from Lajes das Flores in July 1676, by provision of the bishop of Angra, friar D. Lourenço de Castro.

One of the first stories from Fajãzinha was in 1789, by a judge, José Gonçalves da Silva, who referred to the construction of a stone bridge over the Ribeira Grande.

But by 1850, Mosteiro and Caldeira become their own parishes, and in 1861, Fajã Grande and Ponta Delgada das Flores, received the same privilege.

[3] During the event, homes were inundated, while cars and property were dragged away by a river of mud, water, vegetation and refuse from the village.

[3] At about 11:50 a.m., as the showers dissipated, the extent of the damage was made evident: the junta de freguesia (Portuguese: parish offices), main access to the hamlet, and electricity were cut off (although EDA, the local utility, was able to put the village on generators quickly).
