Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Velas is a municipality in the São Jorge Island, in the Portuguese autonomous region of Azores. The municipality encompasses the western portion of the island, with its municipal seat in the town of Velas on the south coast and divided into six parishes.The origin of the name Velas has never been clarified by historians, although it may refer to the number of sailing ships that congregated in the municipality (velas is Portuguese for sails), but may also refer to the "sails" of the windmills that populated the municipality during early settlement. There may also been confusing in the similarity between velas, the word velhas (which means "old" in Portuguese) or belas (which means "beautiful", in the same language). Another reference is to the Portuguese term vilar", which means vigilant, and may have been used to situation in the Canal, where residents were ever-vigilant for volcanic eruptions and/or seismic events.
