The foundation of Santa María de Sando dates back to the repopulation carried out by the Leonese kings in the Middle Ages, being attached to the Alfoz de Ledesma, in the Kingdom of León. In the XIV century a part of the term came to belong to the order of the Augustinians by donation of Lope de Estúñiga in 1339, a fact that lasted until the XIX century. With the creation of the current provinces in 1833, Santa María de Sando was integrated into the province of Salamanca, within the Leonese Region.
