Alandroal was founded in 1298 by D. Lourenço Afonso, Master of Avis, and elevated to the category of town in 1486, by a letter of Foral attributed by D. João II. To the municipality of Alandroal were annexed during century XIX, the territories of the old municipalities of Terena and Juromenha. The village of Vila Real (Villareal), a village on the Alqueva river, belonging to Olivença (under the Spanish administration) was a town of the old town hall of Juromenha.

The name of Alandroal is because in this municipality grow aloendros, whose wood is used in the local crafts. Also highlighted are the works made in cork, leather and horn.
