Sangonera la Verde is a village located in the Garden of Murcia (Spain) and is placed in the south-western quarter of Murcia municipality.[1] It has a population of 11,651 inhabitants.[2]

History

[edit]

The origin of Sangonera may be related to the presence of two manors: Guill count manor and Mayayo marquesses manor. Their labourers started to build dwellings near the boundaries of both territories.[3]

The village obtained the administrative-legal status of aldea de realengo in the 18th century and a governor named alcalde pedáneo was assigned to it.[3][4]

During the Trienio Liberal Sangonera was part of El Palmar municipality since El Palmar (district of Murcia) became independent from Murcia. In 1856 this new municipality ceased existing and its territory became again part of Murcia municipality.[3]
