The Jerez settlement has roots tracing back to the Palaeolithic era. However, it is during the Muslim period that significant urban development emerges, particularly throughout the Almoravid and Almohad epochs, marked by the construction of mosques and palaces and the expansion of its urban center.
In the twelfth century, Christians made several attempts to seize the city, but it was under Alfonso X in 1264 that the conquest was finally achieved. Following this, Jerez remained a border region for a considerable time. A century later, as the frontier shifted away from the city towards the kingdom of Granada, Jerez began to experience economic growth. The fifteenth century heralded the dawn of an era in which the city flourished, becoming one of the most prosperous locales in Andalusia. The development was significantly propelled by agriculture and the export of products—particularly wine—first to Europe and later to America.
The nineteenth century marked a period of considerable economic strength for Jerez, largely due to the collaborations between English exporters and local winemakers. However, this also resulted in pronounced latifundismo, which sparked a powerful anarchist movement. This, coupled with unusual events like the Black Hand incident, incited continuous uprisings among day laborers in both the city and its surrounding agricultural areas well into the twentieth century.
Jerez is regarded as the heart of flamenco and has given rise to numerous renowned artists within this vibrant cultural expression.
