Toledo - São Jorge, Azores, Portugal - Small Town, Big Name on Waymarking.com

Portuguese Toledo is located in the northwestern coast of São Jorge, nestled within high-altitude pastureland and interspersed by Laurisilva forests.
Around 2006, the settlement included between 50-60 residents, that were primarily dedicated to agriculture and cattle-raising. This is in sharp contrast to the 18th century, when 300 inhabitants resided in Toledo. In was the 15–21 February 1964 Rosais Earthquake that affected these numbers, resulting in many local residents abandoning their homes, emigrating to Canada, the United States or Brazil (at least 153 people remained following this event).
