## History

[edit]

The history of the region dates back to pre-Roman times. The present village was formed in the second half of the 18th century from the merger of several small hamlets. The village was called "Zapateros" and was part of the municipality of Aguilar de la Frontera. In 1912, it separated from Aguilar and became a new municipality under the name "Moriles".[3]
