Until the mid-nineteenth century, the region of Pinhal Novo was a place of passage with three major roads, two directed to Spain and the other in a south-north direction that joined, by land, the rivers Tagus and Sado. Some dispersed settlement characterized the landscape of the "Other Band", and until the beginning of the twentieth century, it was structured on the basis of different types of exploration units, such as fences, farms and couples, of which the farms stood out, both for the quantity and for the diversity of typologies. The history of the formation of the parish may begin in 1833, when the Círio da Carregueira was founded, which is probably the oldest manifestation of organization in Pinhal Novo. In 1856 the construction of the railway began and, in the following year, the Círio dos Olhos de Água began. The official inauguration of the railway lines, from Barreiro to Vendas Novas and Pinhal Novo to Setúbal, took place on February 1, 1861. The name Pinhal Novo must date from this time, the place, previously called Lagoa da Palha. The first written reference to the name Pinhal Novo is from March 27, 1959, in an article published in the newspaper "O Cisne do Sado". The first truly important public act for the life of the locality took place on July 18, 1872, when José Maria dos Santos donated a plot of land to the population of Pinhal Novo for the construction of a chapel and for the festivities. The donation was signed by the residents, António Domingos Macau and José Nogueira de Faria. The construction of the church had begun on the eve of the signing of the donation document and was completed in 1874, with the first mass being celebrated on February 2 of the same year. In the meantime, the settlement of Pinhal Novo was evolving. A sign of this evolution was the foundation of the Sociedade Filarmónica União Agrícola in 1896 and, in 1910, the creation of União Futebol Clube Pinhalnovense. A fundamental document for the history of the evolution of the settlement of the region is, even today, the communication presented by the eminent geographer Orlando Ribeiro "The transformations of habitat and cultures in the region of Pinhal Novo (Portugal)", to the XVI International Congress of Geography of Lisbon, republished by the Parish Council, in 1998, in the collection "Origins and Destinations". The first primary school in Pinhal Novo was inaugurated in 1950 at the same time as the National Republican Guard post and the Agricultural Market, the "Praça". The Pinhal Novo Volunteer Firefighters were created in 1951. Throughout the evolution of Pinhal Novo, the railway has been the backbone of the parish because, just as it divides the village in half, it also unites its past and its future. It should be noted that the population, initially scarce, has been increasing. The "caramels" from Beira Litoral and the Mondego Valley, the "ratinhos" from Beira and others from Alentejo. But the great demographic surge took place between 1970 and 1975, due to the settlement of the population coming from the Alentejo and the Algarve. After the 25th of April 1974, with the subsequent consolidation of local power, Pinhal Novo experienced important improvements that effectively contributed to the improvement of the living conditions of the population of Pinhalnovense. Pinhal Novo was elevated to the category of Village on March 11, 1988.
