Our history
Its curious demonym, Teatinos, comes from a Jesuit school known as ''La Finca de Los Teatinos'', who began to work there, and gradually created this new municipality.
At the end of the 15th century, the southern part of the province of Cuenca experiences a great demographic increase that brings with it a greater demand for goods and an improvement in agricultural and livestock techniques. The groups of isolated houses grew and spread, forming new towns that continued to grow until they became villages and later villas, whose original place name they kept and which, as a general rule, was the name of the founder of the old farmhouse.
Around the year 1560 there was a Jesuit college in Madrid called "Los Teatinos". Some monks from San Clemente studied at this college and upon their return they founded a Jesuit college in San Clemente that was known as the "Finca de Los Teatinos". Teatinos was still a village of San Clemente and therefore depended on it.
In 1606 a donation appears from a cleric from San Clemente named Cristóbal de Talavera who belonged to the Jesuit order, who came from a farm called ''Las Cruces''. This farm was next to the houses that were called "Casas de Hernando Alonso", as reported in the San Clemente archive.
In the middle of the 17th century, the village "Casas de Fernando Alonso" experienced a notable demographic increase and the proposals for the independence of San Clemente began. In 1670, Casas de Fernando Alonso managed to become independent from San Clemente in the religious field, and it was in 1679 when he totally disassociated himself from this municipality.
In the following years the population of the municipality increased until it reached the number of 525 inhabitants, its number of homes rose to 144 and the municipality was evolving in great strides. In the year 1804, Casas de Fernando Alonso faced a terrible outbreak of yellow fever, coming from the south of Spain, in which 93 people died; in 1803, 49 more people died and in 1805 another 44. Thus, in three years 186 people died, compared to 39 births and in addition to the War of Independence.
On the death of King Ferdinand VII and in the reign of his daughter Isabel II, the division of provinces and municipalities was established in Spain. It is then that Casas de Fernando Alonso becomes the Constitutional City Council and is limited to the province of Cuenca.
Finally, in 1870 the Civil Registry was installed in the Town Hall.
