It belongs to the northern group of islands, called Barlavento ("windwards"), and comprises a single administrative division, the municipality of Sal. Its seat is the city of Espargos. HistoryThe island was discovered on December 3, 1460 and named Llana ("flat"). This name was changed into the current "Sal" when the two large salt ponds (Pedra de Lume and Santa Maria) were discovered.[1] The first three centuries after its discovery, the island was only sparsely inhabited; in 1720 there was a small fishing village near present Palmeira.[2] This changed when the salt industry was developed at the end of the 18th century, starting in Pedra de Lume. Santa Maria was founded in the south of the island in 1830 by Manuel António Martins.[2] During this time the salt industry thrived, with 30,000 tons of salt being exported in the early years. Most of the salt was exported to Brazil until its nationalization in 1887, Portuguese and French salt investors resumed salt production until 1984.[2] In 1939 Italy started constructing an airport to receive flights from Europe and South America. Construction was halted and ceased around World War II. The Portuguese bought the airport from the Italians and finished it in 1949. Northeast of the airport, workers from São Nicolau Island settled in a village named Preguiça, now part of Espargos. Hurricane Fred struck the island of Sal in late summer 2015, causing damage to houses, tourist facilities and ships. GeographyThe island is 29.7 km long and 11.8 km wide.[3]{{rp|25}} Its area is 219.8 km2.[4] It is one of the three sandy eastern islands (Sal, Boa Vista and Maio) of the archipelago, with white sandy beaches. The island is fairly flat; its highest point is Monte Grande, at 406 m elevation.[3]{{rp|25}} The uninhabited islet Ilhéu Rabo de Junco lies near the west coast of Sal. Saline marshes can be found in the Pedra de Lume crater and north of Santa Maria. ClimateSal Island has on average 350 days of sunshine a year. Winds mainly blow from the northeast. However, some days do also have clouds, but they tend to be scattered and seldom bring rain. The 'rainy season' is from July to mid-October, although rainfall is still low. {{Weather box|location = Sal, Cape Verde (Amílcar Cabral International Airport) 1961–1990, extremes 1950–1990 |metric first = yes |single line = yes |width = auto |Jan record high C = 32 |Feb record high C = 30 |Mar record high C = 33 |Apr record high C = 33 |May record high C = 33 |Jun record high C = 34 |Jul record high C = 33 |Aug record high C = 33 |Sep record high C = 38 |Oct record high C = 34 |Nov record high C = 33 |Dec record high C = 30 |year record high C = 38 |Jan high C = 24.0 |Feb high C = 24.1 |Mar high C = 24.8 |Apr high C = 24.8 |May high C = 25.3 |Jun high C = 26.0 |Jul high C = 27.2 |Aug high C = 28.8 |Sep high C = 29.3 |Oct high C = 28.6 |Nov high C = 27.3 |Dec high C = 25.2 |year high C = 26.3 |Jan mean C = 21.4 |Feb mean C = 21.1 |Mar mean C = 21.6 |Apr mean C = 21.9 |May mean C = 22.5 |Jun mean C = 23.4 |Jul mean C = 24.6 |Aug mean C = 26.0 |Sep mean C = 26.6 |Oct mean C = 26.1 |Nov mean C = 24.5 |Dec mean C = 22.7 |year mean C = 23.5 |Jan low C = 18.8 |Feb low C = 18.1 |Mar low C = 18.4 |Apr low C = 19.0 |May low C = 19.7 |Jun low C = 20.8 |Jul low C = 22.0 |Aug low C = 23.2 |Sep low C = 23.9 |Oct low C = 23.4 |Nov low C = 21.7 |Dec low C = 20.2 |year low C = 20.8 |Jan record low C = 12 |Feb record low C = 10 |Mar record low C = 12 |Apr record low C = 15 |May record low C = 15 |Jun record low C = 15 |Jul record low C = 17 |Aug record low C = 20 |Sep record low C = 20 |Oct record low C = 19 |Nov record low C = 17 |Dec record low C = 16 |year record low C = 10 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 5.3 |Feb precipitation mm = 3.8 |Mar precipitation mm = 1.3 |Apr precipitation mm = 0.0 |May precipitation mm = 0.0 |Jun precipitation mm = 0.0 |Jul precipitation mm = 0.8 |Aug precipitation mm = 14.1 |Sep precipitation mm = 33.6 |Oct precipitation mm = 6.5 |Nov precipitation mm = 2.5 |Dec precipitation mm = 1.6 |year precipitation mm = 69.5 |unit precipitation days = 0.1 mm |Jan precipitation days = 1 |Feb precipitation days = 1 |Mar precipitation days = 0 |Apr precipitation days = 0 |May precipitation days = 0 |Jun precipitation days = 0 |Jul precipitation days = 0 |Aug precipitation days = 2 |Sep precipitation days = 3 |Oct precipitation days = 1 |Nov precipitation days = 1 |Dec precipitation days = 0 |year precipitation days = 10 |Jan humidity = 70 |Feb humidity = 71 |Mar humidity = 71 |Apr humidity = 71 |May humidity = 73 |Jun humidity = 75 |Jul humidity = 75 |Aug humidity = 75 |Sep humidity = 77 |Oct humidity = 75 |Nov humidity = 73 |Dec humidity = 71 |year humidity = 73 |Jan sun = 182.9 |Feb sun = 175.2 |Mar sun = 201.5 |Apr sun = 216.0 |May sun = 204.6 |Jun sun = 174.0 |Jul sun = 148.8 |Aug sun = 161.2 |Sep sun = 180.0 |Oct sun = 198.4 |Nov sun = 189.0 |Dec sun = 155.0 |year sun = |Jand sun = 5.9 |Febd sun = 6.2 |Mard sun = 6.5 |Aprd sun = 7.2 |Mayd sun = 6.6 |Jund sun = 5.8 |Juld sun = 4.8 |Augd sun = 5.2 |Sepd sun = 6.0 |Octd sun = 6.4 |Novd sun = 6.3 |Decd sun = 5.0 |yeard sun = 6.0 |source 1 = Deutscher Wetterdienst[5] }} MunicipalityAdministratively, the island of Sal is covered by one municipality, Concelho do Sal.
