[6] Pinto became a seigneurial domain again in 1350, when Peter I granted the place to Íñigo López de Orozco, although it continued to be claimed by Madrid for decades to come.

Topped with the Spanish royal crown Pinto has a typical Castilian plateau landscape, with heavy urban expansion due to its proximity to the capital.

In 1979, with the arrival of democracy, Carlos Penit, the head of the regional Communist Party of Spain (PCE), became the first mayor of Pinto, and was reelected in 1983, 1987, and 1991.

Pinto was considered a left-wing enclave until 2007 when the conservative Popular Party (PP) put itself within 3 points of the governing PSOE.

A councillor from Juntos por Pinto, Reyes Maestre, changed his mind concerning a motor space project, supporting its construction.

On 22 December 2008 a motion of censure was presented by PSOE/IU/JpP against the Popular Party and PSOE member Juan José Martín Nieto was proclaimed as the new mayor, obtaining a majority in the municipal council.

These elections led to the emergence of the party UPyD in Pinto, which won two seats, thus becoming a new political force represented in the City Council.

The electorate punished Juntos por Pinto, then headed by Reyes Mastre, as well as the United Left party (IU), which gained no representation.
