History & geography

History

Almussafes was originally a Muslim hamlet, consisting of several farmhouses and a tower. There was a customs office there (in Arabic Masaf (), from which the name of the town comes: Almasaf) to collect the transit rights of the merchandise entering and leaving the neighboring city of Valencia. In 1672, it was separated from the Benifaió municipality.
