Its origins come from the Muslim occupation. In 1327 it was occupied by Christian troops but once again fell under Muslim rule in 1333, which lasted until the beginning of the XV century, when it was passed over to the dominion of the Ribera family. It was definitively conquered in1485 by the Marquis of Cadiz, although it was to pass once again to the feudal estate of the Ribera family, to the duchy of Alcalá de los Gazules and finally to the House of Medinaceli. This has always been the great problem of this and other villages of the province, the struggle of those who work the land with the owner to obtain better working conditions and ownership of the lands, producing periods of conflict which lasted until well into the XX century.
