History

This area was early romanized, as several findings found in its territory indicate. After the reconquest of the area, these territories became part of the Talavera Lands for several centuries. At the fall of the Old Regime, the town became a constitutional municipality in the region of Extremadura. Since 1834 it has been integrated in the Judicial Party of Navalmoral de la Mata. In the 1842 census it had 40 homes and 219 residents.

Murder of Joaquin Franco Congregado:

On July 12, 1916, Joaquin Franco Congregado, an agent of the Surveillance Service of Tenant Tobacco Company

(Compañía Arrendataria de Tabacos) was fatally shot in the head by his partner, Cipriano Sanchez del Monte, while both were on a tour of duty searching out illegal tobacco crops and smuggling operations. The town's mayor, a judge, and a medic were immediately called to the site by Sanchez, who claimed that his supervisor, Franco, had been shot in an ambush. Becoming suspicious by the impossibility of an ambush due to the height and steepness of the mountain and the narrowness of the path, the officials had Sanchez re-enact the "ambush." Sanchez then changed his story, claiming he accidentally shot his partner. Franco died of his wound early the next morning. Sanchez's reconstruction of the "accident" that night, however, was refuted at his murder trial by arms experts who disputed that the trigger on his Smith & Wesson pistol would have accidentally fired in the way described and that, to the contrary, the wound trajectory indicated an aimed shot. After a sensational trial in 1917, Sanchez was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Joaquin Franco Congregado. Sanchez was released in 1945 after serving 29 years.
