History
En la Edad Media, la victoria en el año 878 de los ejércitos de Alfonso III en la batalla de la Polvorosa, en las cercanías de la localidad, fue decisiva para la posterior integración y repoblación de la localidad de Friera, que quedó integrada en el Reino de León.
Posteriormente, en la Edad Moderna, Friera fue una de las localidades que se integraron en la provincia de las Tierras del conde de Benavente y dentro de esta en la Merindad de Valverde y la receptoría de Benavente. No obstante, al reestructurarse las provincias y crearse las actuales en 1833, la localidad pasó a formar parte de la provincia de Zamora, dentro de la Región Leonesa, quedando integrada en 1834 en el partido judicial de Alcañices, pasando posteriormente al partido judicial de Benavente.
Monuments
