Main information

The origins of El Rubio in Seville are not clear, some Historians believe that its name could came from an ancient Roman settlement, though other Historians believe that it came from an old name of a farmhouse “el Cortijo de El Rubio”.

On December 29th 1264, Alfonso X el Sabio gave El Rubio to the military order of Calatrava, creating the Senorio de Osuna.

Some years later El Rubio in Seville was given to the Orden de Santiago, an Order of Cavalry, to which the King gave privileges. This disagreement finished in the XX century, when El Rubio was finally a town on its own.
