There is news of its existence in the 11th century when it began to be repopulated by the Sahagún Abbey, in the diocese of Palencia, and during the 14th century it became part of the Infantazgo de Valladolid district, its lord being Don Juan Alfonso de Alburquerque. And later by inheritance it passed into the hands of the Quijada family, its last representative being Luis Méndez de Quijada, married to Magdalena de Ulloa.
