There are several theories about the peculiar name of this Castro: some suggest that it comes from the lime that was manufactured here; others if it was founded by a member of the Calvo Roman family; It is also thought that it may be due to the oak-based charcoal that was produced in its vicinity, and there are those who think that the origin of the name is, on the contrary, Mozarabic.

Another iconographic reference of Castrocalbón is this iron bridge over the Eria River built in the 1920s and which, despite the inconveniences it causes at this time, being quite narrow, already changes its image has become a symbol of Castrocalbón. A new bridge is currently in use a short distance from the old one, which is (for the time being) maintained due to its historical value.
