In February 1937, the Battle of Jarama took place in the surroundings of the current regional park, one of the hardest war events of the Civil War in the surroundings of Madrid. In the cuts of plaster and marl of the cliffs there are remains of military posts, fortifications and trenches used by the Republican troops to defend themselves from the national army that tried to cut off the supply of weapons and food from the Levant.
