[3] The escutcheon representing the municipality was approved by Real Decreto on October 6, 1977: «In a golden background, five green hoalm oaks in a sotuer position; surrounded by a black chain.

In the middle, Boadilla del Monte's municipal escutcheon with its colors.»[5]The placename could come from the Arabic "Boadil-la", showing a Saracen domain of the territory.

[6] The town –at that time little more than a village– was the scene of a fierce battle in December 1936 in which the International Brigades (including Winston Churchill's nephew, Esmond Romilly) fought to defend Madrid against Franco's insurgent army.

At the same time, in the western part of the municipality, other complexes would develop: Las Lomas, Olivar de Mirabal, Parque Boadilla, Bonanza...

Although this residential complexes were originally thought to be sold to high purchasing power families, the cheap price of land made them accessible to a big variety of people who came from Madrid, using it as a second home.

With a higher density than the "Historic Residential Complexes", homes are mainly single family terraced houses organized around the Zoco de Boadilla mall.
