The origins date back to 1635, the year in which Giovanni Battista Gerardi obtained the "licentia populandi". Gaetano Di Giovanni, in his work Historical news about Casteltermini and its territory, attributes to Mariano Gianguercio, in 1648, the foundation of the urban settlement, bearing in mind that in the Cedolario dei feudi della Val di Mazara, the “land of San Biagio”. But the licentia instead suggests that the town began to develop a few years earlier, with a few houses around a small church.
