History
Initially a riverside community, named São Lourenço de Asmes, it developed as the result of the settlement of railworkers, involved in the construction of the railway. The junction of the two principal rail-lines in northern Portugal, a line coming from Porto and another from the northern districts, occurred in Ermezinde. The station that was constructed in this parish eventually developed and surpassed in the transit of the older São Lourenço de Asmes. Ermesinde became a formal junction of the Portuguese railway network, becoming the start link along the Douro railway line to Pocinho.
In 1910, following the 5 October 1910 revolution, the parish officially adopted the new name.

You're My Sunday
by: Jessica SimpsonDon't you love waking up
and don't have to rush 'cause you ain't got much to do
Lay in bed with the TV on all day long
if you wanted to
You spend so much time
worried bout whats coming up next
Can't even find a little room a little space
Even catch a breath
When life is like a hurricane
Flying off the rails like a fast train
Everything around me is so insane
You come and take it all away
You're my Sunday
You show up right on time
Just when I need to take it slow
It's a mystery how easily you found the key
That always brings me home
You have a way of taking
The noise and drowning it out
I don't know what I would do
If I woke up and you were not around
When life is like a hurricane
Flying off the rails like a fast train
Everything around me is so insane
You come and take it all away
You're my Sunday
And life is like a hurricane
Flying off the rails like a fast train
Everything around me so insane
You come and take it all away
When life is like a hurricane
Flying off the rails like a fast train
Everything around me is so insane
You come and take it all away
