History
Early Ages:
It is believed that the Romans who passed through this land for military strategy built a fortress here.
Middle Ages:
The town emerged from an initial building that, according to evidence, was a monastery in honor of Saint Adrian. This monastery later became a parochial church. In this building, relics were collected that, according to legend, Queen Urraca donated to her abbot after recovering her eyesight by praying with great devotion to the saint. This legend gave rise to the patron festivals of Saint Adrian, called “las fiestas de las Santas Reliquias” or the festivals of the Holy Relics, which are celebrated July 24.
Contemporary Ages:
After the eruption of liberalism in the 19th century, the marquisate ceased to have importance. In an economic aspect, however, its impact was notable until the 20th century, when the family owned the central electric and some 50 properties. Their administrator, Fructoso Muerza, rented the properties to peasants in the village. He had both an economic presence and a relationship with the village's Zalduendo de Caparroso family, which came to possess such goods as the poetry of the marquess. Joaquin de Marichalar was the person who, from the palace that bore his name, administered the goods of Zalduendo.
The current population of San Adrian is distributed across the plain around the new church inaugurated in 1968. The municipality is currently an industrial complex important to La Ribera of Navarre which was started at the beginning of the 20th century and consolidated starting 1920. The continuous population growth derived from this strong industry in San Adrian allowed the city to surpass the population of Lodosa in the 1960s, displacing this municipality as the most populated locality that La Ribera has ever boasted.
