Frechas remained the seat of its own district until the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution from 1821 and the following Miguelistenkrieg in 1834. After that, the Frechas district was dissolved and since then it has been a municipality of the Mirandela district. In 1936 the municipality of Vale de Sancha was dissolved and Frechas was incorporated.
