The origin of the name of this town comes from its function as a place of passage for the old routes that linked Complutum with Carthago-Nova, in Roman times; or the silk route that linked Toledo with Valencia and Cartagena. It is derived from the Arabic "rutba", the tax that was paid for the passage of cattle. As a good apprentice of so many people and cultures, La Roda has known how to gather the best of each one and thus shows it in its beautiful urban complex, its magnificent church of El Salvador and the Palaces of Doctor de La Encina and that of the Counts of Villaleal. It is currently very well communicated with its capital, Albacete, from which it is only 36 km away.

Its entire urban complex has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest for its historical and artistic value.
