Guadalajara · Castilla-La Mancha
El Casar (Spanish pronunciation: [el kaˈsaɾ]) is a municipality located in the province of Guadalajara, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. Located in the border with the Community of Madrid, in the route of the N-320 road, it lies at 833 metres above sea level. The municipality covers an area of 51.84 km2.
History
The founding of El Casar dates back to 1085, during the repopulation efforts following the Castilian conquest. From its foundation it belonged to the royal domain, which later passed into the lordship of the archbishops of Toledo until the 16th century. It then reverted to royal ownership, which sold the town to the Duke of Salerno, who in turn transferred it to the Negrón family, who established an entailed estate (mayorazgo). This entail was extinguished in 1592, from which date, and up to the present day, El Casar has functioned as a free municipal council.
