Argelita

Argelita (Aragonese: Archelita, Catalan: Argeleta) is a municipality in the comarca of Alto Mijares, Castellón, Valencia, Spain.

It is located in the valley that forms the Villahermosa River and is surrounded by high mountains, as well as irrigated orchards that its inhabitants have been cultivating throughout history.

[1] The municipality of Argelita, of Arab origin, belonged to Abu Zeyd in the thirteenth century who was the last Almohad governor of Valencia.

So on February 23, 1611, Mr. Pedro Escribá and Zapata, the new Lord of Argelita, granted Carta Pobla to 24 new families that repopulated the town.

Before being the province of Castellón, the Varonía de Argelita belonged to the Marquis of Monistrol within the government of Morella.
