The present site of Vilagarcia has been involved since ancient occasions. Petroglyphs portraying round or deer shapes can be found in the ward of Bamio and can be dated to 2000 B.C.E. The castros of Alobre, Carril, Agudin and Lobeira, notwithstanding archeological discoveries, for example, Roman or Visigothic coins, appear to show a nonstop settlement in the area.

Vilagarcia de Arousa is situated in the district of O Salnes at the southernmost piece of the ria de Arousa, framing a major ocean delta. It outskirts toward the North with Catoira, toward the East with Caldas de Reis and to South with Vilanova de Arousa. The Patron Saint celebration of Vilagarcia de Arousa happens amid 10 days around the 16th of August, the day of Saint Roch. On that day two festivals happen successively. The first, of religious nature, begins with a mass and the parade of the picture of the holy person from the area church to St. Roch's Chapel.

A huge number of individuals go with the picture amid its way, which is done moving to the beat of the Triunfo paso doble. The objective is to get everyone wet. Likewise, the city firefighters coordinate by soaking the members from the fire engines. The festival does not end until the start of the night. A specific zone, including the principle boulevards of the city, is assigned as "the wet zone", where getting wet is generally welcomed.
