An archeological site in Salinillas de Buradón shows evidence of a pre-Roman Celtic settlement of Berones, who migrated to the region in the 4th century BC.

It occupied an important position close to the River Ebro and at a junction on routes between Burgos, Pamplona and the Basque coast, and as a result the town changed hands constantly between Navarra and Castile from the tenth to thirteenth centuries.

A large number of palaces were constructed in the Calle Mayor, where 29 stone coats of arms are still visible carved into their façades,[5] as well as the new classical church, Our Lady of the Assumption, built in the 16th and 17th centuries and decorated in an opulent Baroque style.

Lagares or stone wine presses dating back to at least the tenth century have been found in the town and the surrounding countryside,[7] showing that this has been the mainstay of the region for over a thousand years.

In the Quintano Palace by the town hall can be found the cultural centre, which contains the tourism office, library, games and music rooms and other community facilities.
