History

The earliest mention of a settlement in this area comes from the early Byzantine Empire (sixth century CE), mentioning that the descendants of the earlier Turdetan civilization founded the village of Bálbilis at this location. This village was later destroyed by the Visigoths. The town's current name comes from the Arabic Al-Gaba, which means 'the forest'. Fernando III conquered the area in 1247 and gave it to his son Don Fadrique.

At Fadrique's death, the area reverted to the crown. In 1304 it was given to the infant Don Alfonso de la Cerda, who later ceded it to the Duke of Niebla. The area was next ruled by Don Juan Guzman Medina Sidonia. In the 16th century, CE Philip II of Spain converted the lordship into a marquisate. In the 19th century, a municipal government was established.
