The village has been populated since the X century, having its peak in the early XX century, where it reached 1000 inhabitants. It was then when the location was at full bloom, with a train line to transport iron from the surrounding mining operations, foundries and factories. The closure of its mines lead to a decline of population during the XX century.

The village is in the mountainous area known as Sierra de la Demanda, having its highest point in San Millan peak, which at 2132m it is the highest point in Burgos province.
