History

Caño.

The original foundation of Fuenteliante dates from the repopulation process carried out by the kings of Leon in the XII century, calling themselves Fuentelifante, as recorded in the XV century, being framed in the Diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo, within the Campo de Camaces. Subsequently, the original Fuenteliante was depopulated, being repopulated in 1784 with twenty families from Olmedo de Camaces, Bañobárez as well as former renters. With the territorial division of Spain in 1833 in which the current provinces are created, Fuenteliante is framed within the Leonese Region, formed by the provinces of León, Zamora and Salamanca, of a merely classificatory nature, without administrative operation, which would broadly come to collect the old demarcation of the Kingdom of León (without Galicia, Asturias or Extremadura), becoming part of the judicial district of Vitigudino in 1844.
