History
Despite the ongoing Almoravid razzias in July 1117, Bargas' repopulation started by that time. The original urban settlement was called "Valdeolivas", and it was left forsaken. Bargas enjoys a strong bread-making tradition. French counterrevolutionaries arrived to the village in September 1792. The opening of the Madrid–Lisbon line in 1881 brought a rail connection to Bargas. A Socialist Casa del pueblo was opened in the village in 1907.
