The place name Doncos seems to derive from "Duancos", the Town of the Zoelas. The importance of this one term is endorsed by the fact that for the same one it was crossing one of the Roman military routes from Panties to Astorga. With posteriority, Doncos with town status, possessed proper jurisdiction and integrated by the parish of his name, Ferreiros of Balboa, Nullán and Vilouta. Inside the parochial term it is, on a hill, the castle of Doncos, ancient lot of the Valcarce. Of García Rodríguez de Valcarce, moved forward major than the Kingdom of Gallicia, lowers the count of Ayala, master of Doncos.
