Siedler kolonialisierten Faial um 1519 herum, die meisten von ihnen waren Mauren oder Galizier.
Während der ersten Besiedlung als die Zuckerplantagen ihren Höhepunkt erlebten, wurden Wassermühlen im Fluss von Ribeira do Faial und Ribeira Seca gebaut, um das Zuckerrohr zu zerstampfen.
Heute können die Ruinen noch immer unter der Brücke gesehen werden.

During the first settlement when the sugar plantation was at its peak, water mills were built in the rivers of Ribeira do Faial and Ribeira Seca to crush sugar cane and today ruins may still be seen under the bridge.
Faial was also known for its bridges, the largest being 130 metres and known as Ponte das Sete Bocas (bridge of the seven mouths) but unfortunately in 1984 the bridge collapsed during a severe storm.
