Although they found traces of prehistoric civilizations, Roman, Germanic or perhaps Arabic, the true origin of the town can be traced to the former chapel of Santa Elena, built in the twelfth or thirteenth century. The chapel stood until the eighteenth century, and one of its walls, the venerated image of Santo Cristo del Valle was painted..
During the sixteenth century, the first permanent settlement of the town developed around this hermitage. The rise in pilgrimages to pray to Christ prompted the Crown and the Council of Military Orders to build a new chapel, along with some facilities to provide shelter for the pilgrims.
Following the work carried out during the reign of King Philip V, which led to a rapid increase in population and urban redevelopment, the need for further development became apparent during the reign of King Charles III, under the guidance of Pablo de Olavide. Later, in December 1800, King Charles IV issued a Royal Charter that granted San Carlos del Valle independence, establishing it as the autonomous municipality it is today.
