Sant Guim de Freixenet is a municipality in the comarca of la Segarra in Catalonia, Spain.
Owing to the intense military activity at the Lleida front, this municipality suffered much during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939).
At that time it was known as Pineda de Segarra and, owing to the hardships caused by the war, paper money was printed in the town. [4] The present-day main town was formerly known as Sant Guim de l'Estació because it was built around the railway station of the Lleida - Manresa line.
Nowadays many of the villages that make up the municipality have been depopulated as people have moved to urban areas. Most have only residual population.
This is a list of the 42 comarques into which Catalonia is divided. A comarca is a group of municipalities, roughly equivalent to a county in the US or a district or council in the UK. However, in the context of Catalonia, the term "county" can be a bit misleading, because in medieval Catalonia, aside from the kings of Aragon, the most important rulers were counts, notably the Counts of Barcelona and of Urgell. Comarques have no particular relation to the "counties" that were ruled by counts.
