History
It is home to a medieval castle, the so-called Castle of Cid. In a barter, Alfonso Carrillo de Acuña transferred the castle of Jadraque to Pedro González de Mendoza in exchange for the town of Maqueda and the mayorship of Toledo on 27 January 1470.
By the early 16th century, the land of Jadraque extended across around 713 km2 of the Henares basin (divided into the sexmos of Henares and Bornova).
