El Palmar is a village and the most populated district in Murcia, Spain. It is part of the municipality of Murcia.[1][2] 24,266 people resided in the territory in 2020.[3] There are two hypotheses about the district name. According to the first, the name is due to the presence of palm trees and European fan palms. The other hypothesis is that the name derives from El Palomar, a name that appears in historic documents of the 16th century, as the origin of the toponym.[4]

Geography

El Palmar is situated in the foothills of the Puerto de la Cadena mountain pass and is 5 km from the capital of the municipality (the city of Murcia).[1]

History

There is evidence of the Roman presence in this territory in the Roman Hispanian era. The evidence consists of the archaeological remains of a Roman hamlet whose date is the 2nd century BC.[4]

During the Middle Ages a castle named La Asomada was built in the 12th century.[5]

As a result of the population increase in the 17th century the locality obtained the status of the villa.[4]

As the Spanish Constitution of 1812 came into effect, the current district obtained its own status as a municipality. When the king Ferdinand VII recovered the crown, this status was removed. The district recovered this during the Trienio Liberal (1820–1823). When that period ended, El Palmar returned to belonging to Murcia.[6]
