History & geography

History

The discovery Paleolithic may indicate the presence a prehistoric settlement. Roman coins indicate the existence of some sort of installation here at that time. Quintanar was one of the villages of La Mancha whose repopulation was tasked to the Order of Santiago. The early settlers possibly were Mozarabs from Toledo. Quintanar was granted a chartae populationis during the reign of Ferdinand III. Some Jews installed in Quintanar following their expulsion from Andalusia in 1443. Autochthonous crypto-Jews were found in the town between 1588 and 1592. Moriscos were also reported in the town between 1570 and 1597, accounting for 235 in 1603.
