Plasenzuela has in its contours abundant archaeological remains among which is Cerro de la Horca with materials from different eras (Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze Age), the Romazal necropolis with remains from the end of the Iron Age, El Guijo and some mines with the presence of Roman elements. Among them is an inscription three that includes the name Lucio Julio Ibarra, which is the oldest record of this surname, and casts some doubts on the time of the formation of the article in Basque. The Romans called the town Vetonesto after the inhabitants of the area. After the Islamic occupation period, it belonged to the municipality of Trujillo until in the 16th century. Juan de Vargas y Camargo bought the lands to become a manor. In the seventeenth century, the town passes to the noble family of Tapia and in the eighteenth century it became part of the Count of Canilleros lands.
