Pinet is a municipality located in the north-east of the comarca of Vall d'Albaida in the south of the province of Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain, and some 82.6 km from the regional capital, Valencia. Pinet borders with the following municipalities: Barx, Quatretonda, Gandia and Llutxent, all of which lie within the province of Valencia.

History

The origins of Pinet date from a settlement established in the Islamic era, which included a farmstead and defensive fortification located on a hill above the village. The fortification was destroyed in the 13th century by Christian troops, with only its ruins remaining today.

By the 13th century, the village belonged to the barony of Llutxent, falling first under the authority of the Maza family, and subsequently under the houses of Mandas and Dos Aguas.

In 1530, Pope Clement VII created the Vicariate of Pinet, which was run under the authority of the Dominicans of Llutxent until 1835.

By 1646, only 20 inhabitants were recorded as living in the municipality following the expulsion of the Moriscos, which was undertaken with particular intensity in Valencia.

Towards the end of the 18th century, the population had risen to around 150 inhabitants, before reaching some 300 hundred at the beginning of the 20th century.

By 1920, the population had reached 434 inhabitants, from which point it entered a progressive decline in consonance with the rural flight experienced in many areas throughout Spain during the 20th century.
