History
No se tiene documentación de los orígenes de este pueblo, quizás sobre el siglo XII, pero sin lugar a dudas, están relacionados con la ganadería y por supuesto con vistas a que en un determinado momento fuese una gran fortaleza.
Riofrío y la cercana Hontanares fueron donadas el 4 de junio de 1286 por Sancho IV como aldeas a la Comunidad de Villa y Tierra de Fresno de Cantespino, segregandolas de las de Sepúlveda. En 1453 esta situación se revierte. En 1558 Bernardino de Cárdenas Pacheco, II duque de Maqueda, adquiere a su hermano Alonso de Cárdenas la villa de Riaza y del lugar de Riofrío (Segovia) a su mayorazgo.
Hacia mediados del siglo XIX, el lugar tenía contabilizada una población de 253 habitantes. La localidad aparece descrita en el decimotercer volumen del Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar de Pascual Madoz de la siguiente manera:
