Information about Coslada

The origins of Coslada

The first records of Coslada’s existence as an inhabited site date back to 1273 when it was mentioned as a settlement belonging to the Villa of Madrid.

At the end of the 15th century it had a semblance of administrative organisation, and in 1576, during the topographic listings by Felipe II, Coslada was described as a “settlement falling under the jurisdiction of Madrid, where the houses are made from earth and the roofs from straw, there being about 30 inhabitants”.

Coslada was crown property until 1665, when it was sold to the Count of Biravén to pay off debts. It then became a Villa, although this status was withdrawn a few years later, and was not reinstated until the second half of the 19th century.

The Madrid - Zaragoza railway line was built in 1856, which had a notable effect on the town’s industrial development.

In the early 20th century there were around 500 inhabitants in Coslada, who mainly earned a living from farming and quarrying.

The post-war period saw the arrival of the first emigrants fleeing from rural areas to the capital in search of a brighter future.

In the middle of the 60’s, Coslada had become a large town with a population of 3695 inhabitants. Agriculture gradually disappeared as the main livelihood for the residents of the town, and industries set up in the first industrial estate built in the middle of that decade.

There was a huge demographic, urban and business growth in the 70's. The Ciudad 70 was developed and construction of Valleaguado, la Espinilla and las Conejeras were built.

By then there were over one hundred companies in the town, and in 1971 the bonded warehouse, customs facility and Madrid Customs were established, the forbearers of today’s Dry Port.

The nineties saw Coslada’s consolidation as a logistics town, with the establishment of the Transport Centre, the Logistics Park and the Dry Port.
