Ponta Garça is a civil parish in the municipality of Vila Franca do Campo in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores.
Gaspar Frutuoso indicated that the origin of its toponymy was connected with the first settlers' reflections on sighting this zone.
[3] The civil parish was first designated in the 16th century, likely owing to the communities growth and access to potable water.
[3] The parish is located along the main regional roadway that links Lagoa and Ponta Delgada with the eastern part of the island.
It contains the localities Cinzeiro, Meio Moio, Ponta Garça and Senhora das Mercês.
