The documented history of El Espinar dates from the 11th century, even though the area has been inhabited since the Iron Age. In fact, in September 2016 was found the settlement of Canto Los Hierros in a nearby mountain located south of town, just at 1,700 metres above sea level. The settlement, dated back to the Iron Age, covered about seventy hectares and included about one hundred of houses, few traces of walls and quite a lot of iron items. This kind of ancient settlement at such a high altitude is considered unique within Europe. In 1293 the town received the foundation document called as Carta Puebla, which makes the town independent from the city of Segovia. The Carta Puebla was renewed later in 1317 and in 1368, which allowed the municipality to increase its territory. During the 18th century, both the economy and the population boosted because of the sheep wool production and for the replacement of the farthest mountain pass of La Fuenfría by the nearest one of Los Leones as the safest, main mountain pass to travel between Madrid and the northwestern quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula. In 1888, the railway between Madrid and Segovia was built, so the town experienced a boost as less time was needed to travel from El Espinar to both Madrid and Segovia. In the early 20th century, the town became more and more famous for people from Madrid as a place to spend summer holidays whilst keeping away from the hotter Madrid's summers. During the early 21st century, the town increased its population as more and more people from Madrid moved to the area to live permanently as commuters.
