Originally it was called Fontanares due to the abundance of water in its surroundings, probably related to its proximity to the river Eresma from which it receives its surname. Today it is a mostly residential municipality but it retains a peasant spirit due to its location in the Segovian countryside region and its still active agricultural activity.

Population center that is divided into two scattered areas, one called Hontanares de Eresma and the other the Estación. This second one was well known since it is where the train station of the center was located and that currently passing through the greenway can still be seen.
