The place name "weddings", it is possible to derive of "buda" or "muga". Of buda there is a derivative it "rows", that it means "anéa". A muga derivative is "a vogue", something like "cairn". Both meanings can be convenient about our case, since in the margins of Algodor they grow anéas. The place name "cairn" happens in the limit of Villanueva of Vogues with The Guard. territory of Villanueva of Vogues, it was populated, already in the First one Iron Age, as it demonstrates the ceramic remains and metallic, of bronze and iron, found, between other places, in the Hill of the Cat. We can speak also about a past Iberian - Celt. This way, this hill, contorneado for an Algodor ringlet, was one of the first built-up areas of this territory. We have finds up to well brought in the Roman domination from which it receives his influence. In the XIIth century, Vogues are named. In 1199, Alfonso VIII and his woman Leonor, they donate the place called Vogues Don Gonzalo de Mesa and to his wife. We do not know when our Town leaves Vogues and founds the "New Town"; but, according to the existing documents, we say that already in the middle of the XVth century it was called this way. Our Town depended, of the town of The Guard, in the ecclesiastic thing and in the civil thing. This one dependency lasted until in the reign of Felipe II it makes independent, after this monarch granted, in 1590, the privilege to him of villazgo. (Fte.-Texto Delegation to see link) |
