History

The first human settlements date back to the Neolithic, and archaeological remains discovered seem to indicate that others followed with hardly no interruptions.
The foundation of the village goes back to Turdetan times, when it was called Tucilla.
The first known written records date back to Roman times. They seem to indicate that there was a town in the vicinity of the present-day one.
At the time of Al-Andalus it was called Taxana, and after the Christian Reconquest the name evolved into the present day one. There is very little documentation from this period, but it seems that at the time it was a farmstead dependent of Seville.
The Christian Reconquest was led by Fernando III, who donated the village to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. The donation was confirmed by his son Alphonso X in 1248. This concession was highly considered due to its geographic location and to the fertility of the lands, located in the centre of the Guadalquivir valley. Until the 18th century they were the cause of constant ownership suits, especially with the town of Carmona. .
