History

Its origins may go back to a Roman farmstead called Fundus Rubeus. Under the Visigoths the name of the village was changed to El Rubio.
During the Roman period it was located on the Roman road between Estepa and Ecija. A large number of Roman villas and tombs from that period have been discovered.
Later the locality belonged to the dukes of Osuna. It finally became an independent municipality in the 19th century.
