The village origins are old. Antiques have been found from the
Bronze Age. It got the entitlement of 'village' in 1324, and on 22 October 1364 it came under the control of Pere Boil Colom. Its population in 1510 was less than 400 people, around 100 families, which got halved with the expulsion of the Muslims and the general crisis in 1646 with the loss of some settlements like Ninyerola and Espioca. It didn't recover until the year 1713 when it reached 100 families again and has continued growing until now. The older area is known as the "Carrerons" (meaning long streets in the local language). The village kept its original walls until 1820. Some remaining historic building are • The
Sant Cristofol church which was built over an older building between the years 1712 and 1755. • The
Espioca tower, which was built by Muslims in the 11th century and was used as a defensive point for Valencia. It has four floors and it is located near the highway A-7/AP-7. == See also ==
