Although sparsely populated today, the area was important in Roman times. In the Middle Ages it formed part of the Alfoz of Lara, where the Lara family had its hereditary base, and its full name, Lara de los Infante (Lara of the Princes) reflects that family's legend, told in the Cantar de los Siete Infantes de Lara.
