In the vicinity of the settlement, the hunting pavilion of Castilian monarchs known as the House of La Asperilla could be found situated in a meadow owned by the crown, known as Dehesa Real. The first form that the urban centre took was in 1774, when the ecclesiastical separation of the township from San Martín de Valdeiglesias was recognised.References
