Villaverde

A rural village near Madrid

According to the City Council, Villaverde was a rural settlement close to Madrid, with cereal land, pastures, gardens and orchards, and it had bread ovens and tile works. Its transformation began in the mid-19th century, and the municipality was annexed to Madrid by Decree of 2 July 1954.

From farming to industry

From 1950 the area stopped being agricultural and became industrial, and today it is one of the districts of greatest industrial importance. For many years there were scattered shanty settlements, which have gradually been eradicated.

Barriers between neighbourhoods

National roads, the railway and industrial areas act as barriers that hinder links between its neighbourhoods and with the older districts. The neighbourhoods are Villaverde Alto (historic core, formerly San Andrés), San Cristóbal, Butarque, Los Rosales and Ángeles, over 2,018.76 hectares.
