Ao contrário do que se possa pensar, o nome Óbidos não deriva da parónima óbitos, mas sim do termo latino oppidum, significando «cidadela», «cidade fortificada». Nas suas proximidades ergue-se a povoação romana de Eburobrittium.
Terá sido tomada aos Mouros em 1148, e recebido a primeira carta de foral em 1195, sob o reinado de D. Sancho I. Óbidos fez parte do dote de inúmeras rainhas de Portugal, designadamente Urraca de Castela (esposa de D. Afonso II), Rainha Santa Isabel (esposa de D. Dinis), Filipa de Lencastre (esposa de D. João I), Leonor de Aragão (esposa de D. Duarte), Leonor de Portugal (esposa de D. João II), entre outras.
Em 1527, viviam 161 habitantes na vila, o que corresponderia a cerca de 1/10 da população do município. A área amuralhada era já nessa época idêntica à actual, ou seja, 14,5 ha.
Foi de Óbidos que nasceu o concelho das Caldas da Rainha, anteriormente chamado de Caldas de Óbidos (a mudança do determinativo ficou a dever-se às temporadas que aí passou a rainha D. Leonor).
A 16 de Fevereiro de 2007, o castelo da cidade recebeu o diploma de candidata como uma das sete maravilhas de Portugal.

Material utilizado na produção do filme:

Contrary to what one might think, the name does not derive from Óbidos paronym deaths, but the Latin word oppidum, meaning "citadel", "fortified city". Around it stands the Roman settlement of Eburobrittium.
Have been taken from the Moors in 1148, and received the first letter of the charter in 1195 under the reign of King Sancho I. Óbidos was part of the dowry of several queens of Portugal, namely Urraca of Castile (wife of D. Afonso II), Queen Santa Isabel (wife of King Dinis), Philippa of Lancaster (wife of John I.), Leonor of Aragon (wife of Duarte), Eleanor of Portugal (wife of John II), among others.
In 1527, 161 people lived in the village, which corresponds to about one tenth of the population of the municipality. The walled area at the time was now identical to the current, ie, 14.5 ha.
Óbidos was born the municipality of Caldas da Rainha, formerly called Caldas de Óbidos (the change was due determinative to the seasons he passed there the Queen Leonor).
The February 16, 2007, the castle of the city received the diploma of a candidate as one of the seven wonders of Portugal.
