The area around Setubal has been occupied by people since prehistoric times. Over the centuries, the region was visited, and occupied, by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians who all came to Iberia in search of salt and tin. During Roman occupation Setúbal became an important port on the Alcacer do Sal, trading in pottery and salted fish. This association with the sea continued to the end of the 20th century with several fish canning factories running for a time. One of these has now been turned into the Michel Giacometti Work Museum, an industrial museum about the fishing industry opened by Michel Giacometti in 1987 and now one of the tourist attractions in the town.

Today, while there is still a small, local fishing fleet, many of the moorings are occupied by leisure and pleasure boats and yachts.
