The origin of the Canal de Aragón y Cataluña project must be placed at the end of the 18th century, at the time of the lustration, but it was not carried out until the end of the 19th century. The need to irrigate the rainfed plains of the La Litera region prompted the residents of Tamarite to request the construction of a canal that would take advantage of
the waters of the Ésera and the Cinca. For this reason, at first the channel took the name of Tamarite, until in 1876 it received its current name.
After various difficulties, the State took charge of the works and it was officially inaugurated by Alfonso XIII on March 2, 1906.
