History & geography

History

The municipality of Argelita, of Arab origin, belonged to Abu Zeyd in the thirteenth century who was the last Almohad governor of Valencia. His enemies cornered him and he finally retreated to the palace of this town, where he converted to Christianity giving his belongings to the church and the Christian nobility. After the Reconquista the municipality belonged to the Crown in 1491. Later, the municipality passed into the hands of the Arenós family and on October 5, 1609, it was uninhabited. So on February 23, 1611, Mr. Pedro Escribá and Zapata, the new Lord of Argelita, granted Carta Pobla to 24 new families that repopulated the town. Before being the province of Castellón, the Varonía de Argelita belonged to the Marquis of Monistrol within the government of Morella.
